Accepted Answer

Statement 1 and 3 are correct. Butterflies are pollinating insects. They help in pollination of many flowering plants. Butterflies also act as a lower member of the food chain. A number of animals, including birds and mice, feed on butterflies. As populations of butterflies diminish, so will populations of birds and other animals that rely on them as a food source. This loss of the butterfly is the beginning of the butterfly effect.Statement 2 is not correct.
