Q.4
Which of the following insects often cause inhalational allergies in human following large emergence of adult insects
- Mayflies (Order Ephemeroptera): Undergo synchronized, massive seasonal emergences of winged adults near aquatic freshwater habitats. The shedding exuviae, wing fragments, and hair particulate from millions of decaying adults become airborne, triggering severe seasonal inhalational allergies (asthma and rhinitis) in humans. (Correct answer)
- Stick insects (Phasmatodea): Solitary, camouflaged foliage-feeding insects that do not undergo synchronized massive aerial emergences.
- Earwigs (Order Dermaptera): Nocturnal ground-dwelling scavengers that hide in crevices and do not engage in synchronized mass swarm flights.
- Praying mantis (Order Mantodea): Solitary, beneficial predatory insects that do not produce airborne allergen swarms.
