Fun fact

[paulhope]

"In other instances, knowledge of an animal's sensory apparatus allows one to control that animal's behavior. For instance, agricultural scientists control cotton bollworms--moth larvae that damage cotton crops--by spraying crop fields with a chemical that fools adult male moths into mating with moths of a different species. This chemical overwhelms the smell cues that normally guide mating behaviors. As a result, the moths engage in promiscuous and ineffective mating behavior."
