The diagram of the experimental setup for
recording the tracks of a moth flying among model
obstacles.
The moth tethered on a thin wire flies among
six obstacles of two types: effective (W)
and ineffective (V) in reflecting
ultrasound to the insect. A small green LED is attached on the wire
4 cm away from the insect. To record the
movements of the moth the photographic
camera is set above. All movements of the moth are
recorded as light lines. The recording of probing
ultrasonic signals of the moth is
carried out with the aid of acoustic receiver
that is set 1.5 m away from the moth.
