Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual selection can operate both intra-and inter-sexually, either sequentially or simultaneously (Table 1). During intrasexual selection, members of the same sex attempt to outcompete rivals, often during direct encounters.

The smells are meant to tell partners about their health, where they are located, and that they are ready to mate. Insects use pheromones a lot, and they can sense the chemicals with their antennae.
