Why insect pollinated flowers produce nectar and how they produce?
LeBron James xD I Dont Know Insect pollinated plants produce nectar to attract insect for pollination. The nectar is produced in the nectary glands present at the base of stamens and gynoecium and when the insect approaches the nectary gland, the pollen grains get stuck on its body and when this pollen loaded insect visit another flower of the same species, pollen grains from his body are off loaded on the stigma this flower. Thus pollination by insect is achieved and the insect is benefited by the nectar from that plant.

Why do insects and birds get attracted to the flowers?
It depends upon the flower. Some flowers are beautiful to attract insects or birds. Some flowers look like the mate of the insect that pollinates them. Some flowers have pretty colors to guide the insects to where the nectar is, kind of like a person waving flags on a runway for planes. The insects are looking for nectar and the plant wants to be pollinated. so it puts the pollen very close to the nectar so the insect gets pollen on it while gathering the nectar. The nectar is the insect's reward for picking up the pollen. Then when it flies to another plant, it pollinates it while getting more nectar. But the flowers have designed themselves to either trick the insect or to invite the insect to it.
