Choose the correct one-word substitute for: A person who collects or studies butterflies
Lepidopterist
The clue asks for a specialist term for a person who specifically collects or studies butterflies (and moths).
Butterflies and moths together form the insect order called Lepidoptera, so the expert who studies them is named after that order.
A 'Lepidopterist' is precisely one who studies or collects Lepidoptera, i.e. butterflies and moths; this fits the definition exactly.
An 'Ornithologist' studies birds, which is an unrelated branch of zoology.
An 'Entomologist' studies insects in general — a wider field that includes butterflies but is not restricted to them, so it is not the most precise answer.
A 'Biologist' studies all living organisms broadly and is far too general for this specific meaning.
Because the required word must point to butterflies in particular, the specialist term is chosen.
The correct one-word substitute is Lepidopterist.
