Best Answer

Usually an insect will get some of the pollen trapped on its body in hairs or whatnot while it's feeding at the flower, and when it moves to another flower (a female one) it can drop the pollen, fertilizing the flower. Pollination is a byproduct of the insect feeding; insects don't set out just to pollinate, but luckily for us, they do so anyway.
