How does the presence of eyespots on Luna Moths contribute to their survival?
- Attracting mates through visual signaling.
- Scaring potential predators, thereby increasing their chance of survival. (correct)
- Aiding in navigation during nocturnal flights.

Considering the life cycle of insects, how does complete metamorphosis differ from incomplete metamorphosis?
Considering the life cycle of insects, how does complete metamorphosis differ from incomplete metamorphosis?
- Complete metamorphosis includes a larval and pupal stage, which are absent in incomplete metamorphosis. (correct)
- Complete metamorphosis involves only two stages: egg and adult.
- In complete metamorphosis, the nymph stage closely resembles the adult.
- Incomplete metamorphosis leads directly from egg to adult without any intermediate stages.

- Swimmerets are crustacean appendages used for swimming, holding eggs, and holding prey.
- Lyme disease is transmitted by deer ticks.
- Luna Moths use eyespots to deter predators.
- Most insects have two pairs of wings.
- The queen honeybee's primary function is to lay eggs.
- Chelipeds are claw-tipped legs found on crustaceans.
- Rocky Mountain spotted fever is transmitted by wood ticks.
