Seems like you could test that via negative stimulus. Introduce a negative stimulus like a shock associated with something perceivable by both the caterpillar and butterfly. After conditioning the caterpillar, see if the butterfly shares the same aversion to the stimulus.
- villaaston1 4y agoThis has been tested! In moths at least: > Manduca sexta caterpillars received an electrical shock associatively paired with a specific odor in order to create a conditioned odor aversion, and were assayed for learning in a Y choice apparatus as larvae and again as adult moths. We show that larvae learned to avoid the training odor, and that this aversion was still present in the adults. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0001736 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...
