Sample trajectory of a Microbembex nigrifrons wasp approaching an unoccupied Palafoxia lindenii flowerhead as seen from the top. Wasp positions are subsampled for clarity. The point when the wasp made a decision (in this case to avoid the flower) is highlighted in red. Circles around the flowerhead represent the different distances used in the visual modelling analysis. The insets (A) and (B) show the Mecaphesa dubia spiders tethered above and to the side of the flowerhead respectively.
