Question

If bugs did disperse what are the costs and benefits of accepting a host plant of either species?

Answer 1

Answer:

How could a dispersing bug know what species of plants it would be settling on? A bug can know what bug it is landing on by sight, smell and taste. All insects disperse, even those without wings, so the question contains a false assumption and is therefore unanswerable. In general, the contribution of any particular trait to an organism's fitness depends on the details of the life cycle. Without knowing those details, it's impossible to say.

Answer 2

• For Bugs, I will say at no cost at a because the bug cannot know the the harm or negative impact a host plant can do to it.

But for benefits, there are a lot of benefits of accepting a host plant. Some of the benefits are:

• It is an avenue or a strategy for egg laying females when larvae must feed on plant so as to complete development

• bugs or insects are attracted to flowers due to its scent or brightly coloured petals. These flowers produce a sweet liquid, called nectar, which the bugs or insects feed on.
