(A) Examples of the strongest matches (‘expected’) and mismatches (‘unexpected’) between observer’s perception of how memorable each species appeared when seen for the first time (metamemory rating), and recognition success (hit rate). The red dot highlights aposematic (AP) species. For example, species from the top-right set were firstly rated as highly memorable and subsequently recognized by 79% of observers. In contrast, species from the bottom-right set were also rated as highly memorable but recognised only by 42% of observers. (B) scatterplot and best linear fits of the correlation between recognition and metamemory ratings, grouped by Lepidoptera class.
