A groundbreaking study by researchers from the University of Bristol has uncovered that Heliconius butterflies possess spatial learning capabilities, marking the first experimental evidence of such skills in any butterfly or moth species.

Published in Current Biology, the findings indicate that these butterflies can remember the locations of food sources across substantial distances, challenging previous assumptions about insect cognition.
