Chasing behavior in butterflies may be the result of territorial defense or simply the result of mate location. Such aggressive behavior is frequently observed in male Anartia fatima. It was hypothesized that older male Anartia fatima would be more aggressive than younger males, who have less to lose if they do not defend access to females. Behavioral observations were made on 38 males. Multiple regressions were run to see how age and ambient conditions affected the behavior of the males. Older males were found to be more aggressive and spend more time in courtship, but it could not be concluded that the aggressive behavior in Anartia fatima was ultimately a result of the need to defend a territory to gain access to females. It is more like...
