The experiments results would support only the second hypothesis if they show that in pursuing a swerving insect, a beetle alters its course while running and its pauses become more frequent as the chase progresses. If a beetle altering its course have to stop more often than a beetle running straight, it would make sense that it has to stop because is unable to process the changing visual information rapidly enough.
