- ... that Perugia's limia (pictured) females do not care whether males dance for them but only how big they are?
- Source: "females of L. perugiae do not prefer courting versus noncourting males. They choose only with respect to body size" [1]
- ALT1: ... that though it may have the gut of a herbivore, Perugia's limia (pictured) has quite a taste for bugs? Source: "species with longer guts corresponded to a more herbivorous dietary mode ... L. perugiae showed a large relative gut length combined with a high proportion of invertebrates in the diet." [2]
- ALT2: ... that in Perugia's limia (pictured) the dominant males may be so preoccupied with fighting each other that all the females end up sneakily impregnated by the subordinate males instead? Source: "the dominant male must spend more time fighting and less time pursuing females. Furthermore, attacks on nonaggressive subordinates decrease as aggressive high rank males devote proportionally more time fighting each other, allowing lower rank males a greater opportunity to mate successfully." [3]
