Data from: Visual signal dynamicity shapes detectability in the wild: an experiment with a mate searching butterfly

Data published here is from a field experiment designed to test the
saliency of different types of visual stimuli using the butterfly Eurema
hecabe. We investigate the effect of signal dynamicity on detectability by
presenting wild, free-flying butterflies with a female mimicking, flashing
(i.e., “fluttering”), and moving model in a 2-by-2 factorial design. Each
row (N = 137) represents an event where a butterfly approached the
experimental stimulus. Data were used to analyse whether different
stimulus features (flashing, moving, and moving + flashing) affect the
likelihood of butterflies approaching the model and the distance at which
individuals detected the model.
