A:The reproductive stage of the insect is the winged adult or imago. The surface of both butterflies and moths is covered by scales, each of which is an outgrowth from a single epidermal cell. The head is small and dominated by the two large compound eyes. These are capable of distinguishing flower shapes or motion but cannot view distant objects clearly. Colour perception is good, especially in some species in the blue/violet range. The antennae are composed of many segments and have clubbed tips (unlike moths that have tapering or feathery antennae). The sensory receptors are concentrated in the tips and can detect odours. Taste receptors are located on the palps and on the feet. The mouthparts are adapted to sucking and the mandibles are usually reduced in size or absent. The first maxillae are elongated into a tubular proboscis which is curled up at rest and expanded when needed to feed. The first and second maxillae bear palps which function as sensory organs. Some species have a reduced proboscis or maxillary palps and do not feed as adults. B:From this passage, could you conclude that mutli-segmented, clubbed antennae are an adaptation that is strictly useful in nocturnal insects such as moths? Answer: beautiful

B:Most schoolchildren, and most fellow readers of a passage like this, would only be able to distinguish large moths from small butterflies based on how colorful they are.  Does this passage, though, suggest that with a high-resolution, black-and-white photograph, you could readily tell a moth from an butterfly? Answer: commentary

The head is small and dominated by the two large compound eyes. These are capable of distinguishing flower shapes or motion but cannot view distant objects clearly. Colour perception is good, especially in some species in the blue/violet range. While moths have antennae that taper or display a feathery structure, butterfly antennae have multiple segments and clubbed ends. The sensory receptors are concentrated in the tips and can detect odours. Taste receptors are located on the palps and on the feet. The mouthparts are adapted to sucking and the mandibles are usually reduced in size or absent. The first maxillae are elongated into a tubular proboscis which is curled up at rest and expanded when needed to feed. The first and second maxillae bear palps which function as sensory organs. Some species have a reduced proboscis or maxillary palps and do not feed as adults. B:If a rainforest ecologist were to find a new species of brilliantly colored butterfly, and through various other methods was able to know with complete certainty that it was indeed a butterfly and not a moth, would the presence of feathery antennae be a game-changing discovery, perhaps representing some unforeseen evolutionary adaptation?

A:The sociology of knowledge was pioneered primarily by the sociologist Émile Durkheim at the beginning of the 20th century. His work deals directly with how conceptual thought, language, and logic can be influenced by the societal milieu out of which they arise. In an early work co-written with Marcel Mauss, "Primitive Classification", Durkheim and Mauss study "primitive" group mythology in order to argue that classification systems are collectively based and that the divisions within these systems derive from social categories. Later, Durkheim in "The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life" would elaborate his theory of knowledge, examining how language and the concepts and categories (such as space and time) used in logical thought have a sociological origin. While neither Durkheim, nor Mauss, used the colloquial phrase "sociology of knowledge" in their written publications, which were an important first contribution to the field, they were enthusiastic users of the term in less formal settings with colleagues. B:If you found a scrap of an old diary in which a well known sociologist complains about Mauss repeatedly using the term "sociology of knowledge" around campus, would you have to conclude, from this passage, that the diary author was talking about someone else with that same name?
