Some insect species rely on social learning to guide their behavior. The types of information learned from others can be rather minimal, as in the case of odor cues remaining from the larval period, which can help newly eclosed adult insects choose their own egg-laying substrate, or sophisticated as in the honeybee waggle dance, which involves symbolic coding about the location of and direction to profitable flowers. Some features of insect life history, including lack of parental care and nonoverlapping generations, could limit the prevalence of social learning in nonsocial insects.
