摘要：

Two conspecific butterfly populations (Euphydryas editha, "Edith's checker-spot") have each undergone evolutionary diet expansion. Within each population, butterflies oviposited on two morphologically distinct host species. Using a traditional definition of apparency, insects searched efficiently for an unapparent host that was longstanding but inefficiently for an unapparent host that was novel. This is interpreted as indicating that search efficiency evolves after colonization of a novel host regardless of the plant's visual "apparency." Discussion of the result indicates that apparency should be defined nonanthropomorphically in the context of a specified insect's perceptual abilities.
