Nymphs of Melanoplus sanguinipes learn to associate food with visual cues such as colour or light intensity. Such an ability in active exploratory insects may improve foraging efficiency by reducing time spent searching in unsuitable areas. Significant effects are demonstrated after a single rewarded trial, and the effects are extinguished after a variable number of unrewarded trials.
