Due to some reasons, if there is a huge fall in the population of species of butterflies, what could be its likely consequence/consequences? 1. Pollination of some plants could be adversely affected. 2. There could be a drastic increase in the fungal infections of some cultivated plants. 3. It could lead to a fall in the population of some species of wasps, spiders and birds. Select the correct answer code:

The correct answer is 1 and 3 only.
Key Points
- Bees and butterflies play a vital role in the pollination of plants and the production of crops by transporting pollen grains from one place to another.
- It can, however, not lead to a drastic increase in the fungal infections of cultivated plants. Hence, Statement 2 is NOT correct.
- These are some of the common predators of butterflies: wasps, ants, parasitic flies, birds, snakes, toads, rats etc. The decline in butterfly population would therefore adversely affect the food chain.
