Experimental set-up to study spatial propagation. a A 6-m long tunnel was folded into a double spiral to fit in a 60 × 40 cm rectangle. The red dot figures the central point of insect release, blue dots represent the location of host patches (Clumped modality: one patch every 30 cm). b Using hi-resolution imaging, the distribution of individual insects was followed every minute for 8 h (coordinates are in pixels). c Individual insects and host eggs were located, and projected orthogonally on the tunnel skeleton to obtain their linear distance from the release point. Pairwise distances between individuals at any time, and distances to the closest host, were also computed
