Invertebrate behavioural responses to 3D-printed insect replicas, featuring combinations of traits from wasps and flies, in laboratory trials
Three files describe behavioural trials involving jumping spiders, crab spiders and praying mantises respectively. They include details about the individual predators, the stimuli used and the behavioural responses from the predators. Full details about this nonGeographicDataset can be found at

- Statement
- We investigated how different species of invertebrate, all potential predators of flower-visiting insects, responded to 3D printed wasp-like and fly-like stimuli. Our predators were jumping spiders, crab spiders and praying mantises. Each received training to associate wasp stimuli with a negative experience, while fly stimuli were not associated with any positive or negative experience. We then tested predator responses to a range of novel mimetic stimuli with varying levels of similarity to the wasp stimulus. The aim was to determine how accurately a stimulus needed to mimic the negatively-conditioned wasp stimulus before it would be mistaken for the wasp by the predators . Behavioural observations were conducted in real time during the experimental trials, with video recordings taken in some cases for later reference. A stopwatch was used for timings. Data have been cleaned (for example, removal of invalid or unused data points) and formatted using custom scripts in R v4.3.2.
