Moths Wired Two Ways to Take Advantage of Floral Potluck
Moths are able to enjoy a pollinator's buffet of flowers – in spite of being among the insect world's picky eaters – because of two distinct "channels" in their brains, scientists at the UA and University of Washington report. The giant hawk moths known to scientists as Manduca sexta are innately attracted to flowers with a particular scent profile, said study co-author John G. Hildebrand, Regents’ Professor and head of the UA department of neuroscience.
