Abstract
The larvae of Drosophila exhibit osmotropotaxis. At high concentrations of the odorant, chemotactic response is strongly oriented. At low concentrations oriented crawl is replaced by quasi-random turning. If the olfactory sensillum is ablated unilaterally, the larvae turn so as to present the ablated side to the odour source.
