Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Butterflies with erratic darting flights belong to family Hesperiidae.
Statement (II): Larvae with tapering at both ends without dorsal setae.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are false.
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Hint:

Hesperiidae (skippers) are known for erratic flight and smooth-bodied larvae.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Hesperiidae (skippers) are known for a rapid, erratic, darting flight pattern, so Statement I is true.
Step 2: Their larvae taper at both the head and tail ends and lack prominent dorsal setae, matching Statement II, so it is also true.
Step 3: Correct answer: Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are true.
