Ant responses to Teflon rods applied with cuticular extract of <i>Arhopala</i> larvae.

<p>Responses of the first 10 workers toward Teflon rods applied with cuticular crude extract of (a) <i>Arhopala dajagaka</i>, (b) <i>A</i>. <i>amphimuta</i>, and (c) <i>A</i>. <i>zylda</i>, and (d) <i>n</i>-hexane (control) in each trial are plotted. Green, red and blue symbols indicate plant-ant species on <i>Macaranga rufescens</i>, <i>M</i>. <i>trachyphylla</i>, and <i>M</i>. <i>beccariana</i>, respectively. Overlapping symbols are spread laterally. Filled and open symbols indicate trials for combinations of plant-ant species and <i>Arhopala</i> species on the same host plant species and those on the different host plant species, respectively.
