Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Butterfly wing patterns are not merely decorative; they are vital for survival and reproduction. One fascinating aspect is camouflage, where wing patterns help butterflies blend into their surroundings, making them less visible to predators. For example, the Indian Leaf Butterfly, when its wings are closed, perfectly resembles a dry leaf, effectively hiding it from hungry birds.
Conversely, some butterflies use bright, bold patterns as warning signals. These patterns often incorporate colors like red, orange, and yellow, signaling to predators that they are poisonous or taste unpleasant. The Monarch Butterfly is a prime example, its vibrant orange wings acting as a deterrent to would-be attackers.
Finally, wing patterns play a crucial role in attracting mates. Butterflies often have specific patterns and colors that help them identify potential mates of the same species. Some species even exhibit sexual dimorphism, where males and females have distinct wing patterns. Male butterflies use their striking patterns to impress females during courtship displays, showcasing their fitness and genetic quality.
In conclusion, butterfly wing patterns are a remarkable example of natural selection at work. From camouflage to warning signals and mate attraction, these patterns are essential for the survival and reproductive success of these beautiful insects.
