研究长距离迁徙昆虫的飞行路线面临着一个明显的挑战，即动物的体型和重量相对较低。这使得在这些昆虫上安装相对较重的发射器以监测它们的迁徙路线变得困难（例如在几种候鸟中所做的那样）。然而，昆虫相当精致的解剖结构有利于在受控条件下的室内实验中测试它们根据假定的罗盘提示进行定向的能力。大约 20 年前，Barrie Frost 和 Henrik Mouritsen 开发了一种飞行模拟器，使他们能够监测昆虫的飞行方向 拴在室内和室外的迁徙帝王蝶。原始论文中描述的设计已在许多后续研究中使用，以描述主要是昼夜鳞翅目物种的定向能力。在这里，我们提出了这种飞行模拟器设计的修改，可以研究飞蛾的夜间长距离迁徙，同时允许受控的磁、视觉和机械感觉刺激。迄今为止，这款经过修改的飞行模拟器已经 成功用于研究两种欧洲和一种澳大利亚迁徙夜蛾物种迁徙的感官基础。
Studying the routes flown by long-distance migratory insects comes with the obvious challenge that the animal’s body size and weight is comparably low. This makes it difficult to attach relatively heavy transmitters to these insects in order to monitor their migratory routes (as has been done for instance in several species of migratory birds. However, the rather delicate anatomy of insects can be advantageous for testing their capacity to orient with respect to putative compass cues during indoor experiments under controlled conditions. Almost 20 years ago, Barrie Frost and Henrik Mouritsen developed a flight simulator which enabled them to monitor the heading directions of tethered migratory Monarch butterflies, both indoors and outdoors. The design described in the original paper has been used in many follow-up studies to describe the orientation capacities of mainly diurnal lepidopteran species. Here we present a modification of this flight simulator design that enables studies of nocturnal long-distance migration in moths while allowing controlled magnetic, visual and mechanosensory stimulation. This modified flight simulator has so far been successfully used to study the sensory basis of migration in two European and one Australian migratory noctuid species.
