在黄蜂（Vespula vulgaris）第一次离开新发现的喂食器时进行的定向飞行中，发现了一种空间模式。飞行由大致以馈线为中心的弧线组成。在每条弧线的末端，黄蜂转身面对喂食器。这些检查点精确地沿着从给料机延伸出来的线排列。膜翅目昆虫在定向飞行中会储存周围环境的信息。我们建议在这些对齐的检查过程中记住这些信息，并且对齐有助于获取。
A spatial pattern has been found in the orientation flight that the wasp, Vespula vulgaris, performs on its first departure from a newly discovered feeder. The flight consists of arcs roughly centred on the feeder. Towards the end of each arc, the wasp turns to face the feeder. These inspection points are precisely arranged along lines extending out from the feeder. Hymenoptera are known to store information about their surroundings during orientation flights. We suggest that the information is memorized during these aligned inspections and that the alignment assists acquisition.
