Abstract
Females of I. conquisitor were conditioned to associate colour with the presence of hosts. Conditioning was important only during searching and did not affect the distribution of attacks once hosts were found. The ability of this species to associate colour with the presence of hosts could increase its efficiency as a parasite. Females of I. conquisitor showed an innate preference for blue over yellow.Keywords
