Wind pollinated flowers sometimes look ugly because they don't need to attract bugs.
Insect pollination is transferring the pollen grains to the stigma by insects while wind pollination is transferring the pollen grains to the stigma by wind.
As insects (for example bees) are more likely to visit the same plant, or plants in close proximity, the chances are pollination will take place within a very small gene pool of (the same) plants.
Wind pollination increases the chances of pollination over a larger gene pool of (the same - or very closely related) plants.
Pollen carried by wind will not always land on other plants, so more pollen is created for a greater chance of that happening. On the other hand, pollinating insects such as bees travel from flower to flower, so it is almost certain that pollen with be able to reach another plant. Therefore, insect pollinated plants will not need to produce as much pollen as wind pollinated plants.
It takes almost all of the pollen from a large quantity of plants and spreads it all over the place. Unlike wind pollination the bugs can miss plants or eat them that has a chance of killing them.
Flowers pollinated by insects or other animals like bats or birds have bright colors or odors to attract the pollinators and usually produce nectar as a reward. Wind pollinated flowers don't need to be attractive and are often so inconspicuous that the average person may not even recognise them as flowers.

Wind pollination and Insect pollination
Self pollination, wind pollination, and insect pollination are the three ways that pollination occurs. Pollination is needed in order for plants to reproduce.
It is delivered by an insect like a bee, a human or the wind.
Most grasses and many trees are pollinated by the wind. The pollen carrying organs of these types of plant are exposed so that the wind can distribute their pollen, catkins are a typical wind pollinated structure. Insect pollinated plants need to attract insects to their flowers and they generally have petals and are often brightly coloured.
Pollination is required for flowering plants to reproduce. This is due to the pollen acting as the sperm for the plant, and the pollen has to enter the ovum of the plant to create the seeds.
Wind pollination and Insect pollination
a) wind pollination (wind) b) insect pollination (insect) c) self pollination (the flower pollinates itself)
Pollination can be by wind, by insect, by bird, by hand.
Cross pollination is when the wind or a insect carries pollen from one flower to another. Self pollination is when a flower produces pollen and uses it in asexual reproduction.
Self pollination, wind pollination, and insect pollination are the three ways that pollination occurs. Pollination is needed in order for plants to 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.
Is the nasturtium flower wind or insect pollinated since it is also used to repell insects .
The two kinds of pollination are1. self-pollination2. cross-pollination.note - the Q may have been after insect pollinated, and wind pollinated.

pollination may also occur through wind, water, or by birds, bats.
