趋泥行为

趨泥行為(英語:Mud-puddling)常見於蝴蝶,其他動物也會有此行為,其中主要是昆蟲。他們會尋找湿润的物質,如腐爛的植物、泥土腐肉[1],去吸取其中的液體。所以昆蟲(如蝴蝶)常常會在潮濕的土壤、糞便或腐肉上聚集。從物質中獲得的營養物質,如氨基酸,在他們的生理上、行為上和生態上扮演重要角色[2][3]。一些其他昆蟲也會有此行為,如葉蟬英语Leafhopper馬鈴薯小綠葉蟬[4]

蝴蝶有趨泥行為

鱗翅目(像是蝴蝶和飛蛾)是常常有多種策略來收集液體和營養物。通常,趨泥行為會發生在有潮濕泥土的地方,甚至血、淚與汗也會對蝴蝶有吸引力。並不只有鱗翅目有類似的行為,例如,蜜蜂也會被汗和眼淚吸引。有些物種只有雄性有趨泥行為。
