(A) Whetherthe two chemicals provide any protection for the millipedes against their ownpredators
(B) Whetherthe type of millipede used by the capuchin monkeys in Vanakula is found inother parts of the world
(C) Whetheranimals other than capuchins rub insects of any kind into their fur
(D) Whether the only time the millipedes arereadily available to the capuchins is during the rainy season
(E) Whethersecretions of any other insects accessible to the capuchins contain chemicalsthat repel mosquitoes

Manhattan论坛关于这题的讨论,Ron大神已经很详细的说明啦~
这题的点在猴子rub的行动是因为rain season 还是因为要用milipedes防虫.
D答案 是不是只有在雨季的时候millipedes对猴子才能用.
是,猴子使用M可能是因为别的原因,和蚊子没有直接联系.
不是,一年四季都可以用millipedes但是却在雨季蚊子最多的时候才用,所以结论,猴子用millipedes rub毛防虫成立.
