2011

Gromysz-Kałkowska, Kazimiera | Unkiewicz-Winiarczyk, Aneta

Based on literature data, the current article presents active defence strategies employed in the world of insects. Examples of escape increasing the probability of survival of potential prey that has not only been localized but also already attacked are described here. Also, the modes of warding off predators adopted by threatened individuals as well as effectiveness of immobility have been discussed. We have described threatening behaviour of potential victims and use of more than one defence strategies. Construction of shelters by some species larvae has been regarded in the article as a form of active defence.
