Table A1. Raw data from the experiment on the effect of ablation of butterfly (Callophrys xami) hindwing tails (“false antennae”) on hindwing movement (HWM) and capture by female mantis (Stagmomantis limbata).
Control butterflies were manipulated in the same way as experimental butterflies but their hindwing tails were not ablated.
