Data from: Moving like a model: mimicry of hymenopteran flight trajectories by clearwing moths of Southeast Asian rainforests

Clearwing moths are known for their physical resemblance to hymenopterans, but the extent of their behavioural mimicry is unknown. We describe zigzag flights of sesiid bee mimics which are nearly indistinguishable from those of sympatric bees, whereas sesiid wasp mimics display faster, straighter flights more akin to those of wasps. In particular, the flight of the sesiids Heterosphecia pahangensis, Aschistophleps argentifasciata and Pyrophleps cruentata resembles both Tetragonilla collina and T. atripes stingless bees and, to a lesser extent, dwarf honey bees Apis andreniformis, whereas the sesiid Pyrophleps sp. resembles Tachysphex sp. wasps. These findings represent the first experimental evidence for behavioural mimicry in clearwing moths.

清翼蛾因其与膜翅目昆虫的形态相似而广为人知，但其行为模仿的程度尚属未知。本研究详细描述了拟态蜜蜂的锯齿形飞行轨迹，其与共生蜜蜂的飞行轨迹几近难辨，而拟态胡蜂则展现出更为迅速、更为直线的飞行，与胡蜂的飞行特征更为相似。特别是，拟态胡蜂属中的异色斑胡蜂（Heterosphecia pahangensis）、银斑胡蜂（Aschistophleps argentifasciata）和赤斑胡蜂（Pyrophleps cruentata）的飞行轨迹与塔格龙尼拉蚁蜂（Tetragonilla collina）和塔格龙尼拉黑蚁蜂（T. atripes）的蜂群蚁蜂，以及在一定程度上与矮蜂（Apis andreniformis）的飞行轨迹相似，而拟态胡蜂属中的Pyrophleps sp.则与塔希斯费克斯蜂（Tachysphex sp.）的飞行轨迹相仿。这些发现为清翼蛾行为模仿提供了首次实验证据。
