六月亚井和他的同事制作了一只雄蝶模型来靠近雌蝶,试探雌蝶的反应,结果发现,未交配过的雌蝶张大了翅膀,而已经交配过的雌蝶却把翅膀合上了。
Not only can the persistent attentions of unwanted suitors harm the delicate females, fleeing from them -- with the male often in pursuit -- uses up strength and can even shorten their lives, he added.
他补充称,雄蝶对雌蝶不断的追求不仅会伤害到这些纤弱的雌蝶,而且在雄蝶穷追不舍时,雌蝶四处躲避雄蝶的骚扰,会过于疲惫甚至折寿。
"Closing their wings makes them less visible, helping them avoid communication with their own species. We figured they were trying to avoid sexual harassmentby males," Ide said.
他说:“合上翅膀可以让雌蝶不那么显眼,避免与同类红灰蝶的接触。我们认为它们是在躲避雄蝶的性骚扰。”
