Add to ORKGTocontrol flight, insects relyon thepattern of visualmotiongenerated on the retina as they move through the environment. When light levels fall, vision becomes less reliable and flight control thus becomes more challenging. Here, we investigated the effect of light intensity on flight control by filming the trajectories of free-flying bumblebees (Bombus terrestris, Linnaeus 1758) in an experimental tunnel at different light levels. As light levels fell, flight speed decreased and the flight trajectories became more tortuous but the bees were still remarkably good at centring their flight about the tunnel’s midline. To investigate whether this robust flight performance can be explained by visual adaptations in the bumblebee retina, we also e...
