Hello,
The following quotation describes an experiment and insect
behaviours that seem to be well-known to entomologists and
ethologists:
"...Place a bunch of flies in a jar, lay the jar so its bottom is
facing an open window, then open the lid. Flies will bump around
randomly then fly out the lid side, find the open window and leave.
Bees will continually try to go out the bottom and
will eventually die."
This quotation is by a Computer Scientist who has unfortunately
forgotten from which source he got this information, i.e., where
he heard or read about it.
I would need references where this and similar experiments are
described. Any starting point for a bibliographic research would
be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Georg Gottlob
