Q. In context with the Indian Fauna, consider the following statements:

1. The maximum number of species in India is that of Arthropods
2. Butterflies Constitute 65% of Indian Fauna
3. Assam is home to around 50% of India’s Butterfly species

Which among the above statements is / are correct?
Answer: All are correct
Notes: All statements are correct. 1. Arthropods: India has a rich biodiversity, with arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans) being the most diverse group, comprising over 75% of all animal species. 2. Butterflies: While butterflies are a important part of Indian fauna, they do not constitute 65% of it. this figure is inaccurate. However, India is home to around 1,500 butterfly species. 3. Assam's Butterflies: Assam is indeed a biodiversity hotspot and hosts about 50% of India's butterfly species, making it a crucial area for butterfly conservation. Thus, while the first and third statements are accurate, the second is misleading. The correct answer should be "Only 1 & 3 are correct."
