where does fertilization takes place in butterflies
Answer (1)
In butterflies, fertilization occurs internally. After mating, the male transfers sperm to the female, where it is stored in a special organ called the spermatheca. The female uses this stored sperm to fertilize her eggs as she lays them, usually on or near suitable host plants for the larvae. This process ensures that the eggs are fertilized just before they are deposited, optimizing the chances of survival for the developing caterpillars.
