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.

透翅蛾（clearwing moths）以其与膜翅目（Hymenoptera）昆虫的外形相似性而广为人知，但其行为拟态（behavioural mimicry）的程度尚未明确。本研究记述了拟态蜜蜂的透翅蛾类（sesiid）的锯齿状飞行轨迹，其几乎与同域分布的蜜蜂飞行轨迹难以区分；而拟态胡蜂的透翅蛾类则展现出更快、更笔直的飞行模式，更接近胡蜂的飞行特征。具体而言，*Heterosphecia pahangensis*、*Aschistophleps argentifasciata*与*Pyrophleps cruentata*这三种透翅蛾类的飞行轨迹，既与*Tetragonilla collina*和*T. atripes*两种无刺蜂（stingless bees）的飞行模式高度相似，在较小程度上也与小蜜蜂*Apis andreniformis*（dwarf honey bees）的飞行特征相仿；而*Pyrophleps sp.*这一透翅蛾类群则与*Tachysphex sp.*胡蜂的飞行模式相似。上述研究结果首次为透翅蛾的行为拟态提供了实验证据。
