In holometabolous insects, larvae enjoy in only eating and growing, while adults are responsible for producing offspring and they don't eat much in some species. Pupal stage is the intermediate stage when all the transformation safely occur. Therefore, larvae and adults don't share food source, in another word, no food competition. And there is a division of labor, growing and reproduction separately. Living in different habitat is another amazing thing that only insect can do through metamorphosis. For instant, mosquito larvae live in the water, while adult can fly around and find blood meal. Imagine that, if human beings have the same ability as insects, then we will be able to swim like a fish and fly like a bird in our life.

∙ 13y agoThe insects collect sweet nectar from the flowers. While they are drinking the nectar, pollen sticks to their bodies then when they land on other flowers to get more nectar the pollen fertilizes other flowers. Bees are good at pollinating flowers because they need lots nectar to make honey and they have furry bodies which makes the pollen stick better. Butterflies have long tounges to help them collect nectar from flowers.

How does the plant benefit from butterflies?
pollination
How do flies interact with humans?
Flies' interaction to human is sometimes beneficial. The parasitic species of flies strikes grasshoppers, caterpillars and other insect that eats plants. Some flies aides in pollination and some flies are also food for animals such as fish.
How is pollination by ants called?
myrmichophyte
How many insects are attracted to different plants?
Just one. As the animal crawls into the flower to collect nectar, pollen from the animal moves onto the next flower, some of the pollen brushes off onto the pistil when the insect goes to the next flower.
What is self pollination and cross pollination?
If the pollen lands on stigma of the same flower, it is called self-pollination. When the pollen of a flower lands on the stigma of another flower of the same plant, or that of a different plant of the same kind, it is called cross-pollination.
What type of pollination takes place in maize?
Wind pollination and Insect pollination
What are 3 helpers for plant pollination?
a) wind pollination (wind) b) insect pollination (insect) c) self pollination (the flower pollinates itself)
What is six steps to pollination?
What is six steps to pollination?
What words name methods of pollination?
Pollination can be by wind, by insect, by bird, by hand.
What type pf pollination occurs in flamboyant flowers?
the pollination process that occurs in flamboyant flowers is insect pollination
What are the three ways in which pollination can occur?
Self pollination, wind pollination, and insect pollination are the three ways that pollination occurs. Pollination is needed in order for plants to reproduce.
How does the plant benefit from butterflies?
pollination
How do seeds plants reproduce?
Plants reproduce by pollen grains. There are 2 types of pollination: Cross pollination and Self pollination. They are primarily pollinated by means of wind pollination or insect pollination.
Why pollination is an example of mutualism?
Pollination is an example because both organisms benefit from whatever they are doing. In this case it involves pollination.
Why would a flower need to attract an insect?
to do the process of pollination
What is it called when an insect depends on a plant when at the same time the plant is depending on the insect?
Symbiosis. Pollination is a good example of this - food for the insect, reproduction for the plant.
How does a lepidopterologist benefit society?
A lepidopterologist has the ability to increase the productivity of the insect populations that supply commercially important products such as dyes, silk and honey. It is a branch of entomology. Insects are studied because of their importance in pollination.
