actually you people are wrong the petals attract the flowers because the bees can see in neon so they see the petal and its bright so they fly towards it and the brush past the pollen on the way to the nectar and then move onto another plant and then when the bee flys in the stigma gets the pollen of the bees back then goes down the style into the ovary and meets the eggs (ovoule).
What plants attract insects?
All plants attract insects, some more than others. Obviously, a fruiting plant will attract more than a non fruiting plant, but every type of plant has at LEAST one species that will attack it. Remember, plants are the basis of the food chain, the ENTIRE food chain. plant eating insects (herbivorous) will be attracted to a plant that has the most to give them, nutritionally speaking, but any plant may be preyed upon by species adapted to feed specifically on it, like the Boll Weevil, and the Cotton plant, or Cabbages, and the Cabbage moth. Even plants that only have a couple of predator species that can eat them will attract other (insectivorous) bugs, if only to prey on the other insects there (think Ladybugs, and Aphids). So the answer to this is ALL of them attract insects.
What food attracts insects?
