Question

Choose the correct one-word substitute for:

A person who collects or studies butterflies

The correct answer is

Lepidopterist

The required word names a specialist who specifically collects or studies butterflies and moths.

A 'Lepidopterist' studies Lepidoptera, the insect order comprising butterflies and moths.

An 'Ornithologist' studies birds, an 'Entomologist' studies insects in general, and a 'Biologist' studies living organisms broadly, so none is specific to butterflies.

The correct one-word substitute is Lepidopterist.
