The regular video at left and infrared video at right both show male moths shivering to warm up their flight muscles after they get a whiff of a female pheromone or sex attractant. In the infrared video, the moth's increasing temperature is shown by the colors changing from blue and purple to red, orange and yellow. A University of Utah study found the sex attractant made the moths take off prematurely. The study was by José Crespo, Neil Vickers and Franz Goller.
