Zusammenfassung

Raupen vonSmerinthus ocellata L. im dritten bis fünften Larvenstadium zeigen im Phototaxisversuch unregelmäsig periodische Umkehr der Kriechrichtung (Fig. 1). Aus der weiteren Analyse der experimentellen Daten ergibt sich, dass dieser Richtungswechsel in der Mehrzahl der Fälle durch einen tatsächlichen Umschlag des Richtungssinnes der Phototaxis verursacht wird.
