Some species' bodies are specially-shaped for pollinating. Yucca plants and Yucca moths are highly evolved to depend on each other, to the point that if a species of Yucca moth were to go extinct, its counterpart Yucca plant would likely also perish, because other species just can't service the weird flower shapes.


The biggest thing that makes insects good pollinators though, is their ability to see ultraviolet light. Many flowers that look plain-looking to us are vibrant in the uv spectrum. A plain yellow flower might have a purple "landing strip," a white one might have a bright red center that we can't see, but the insects can, and this red spot helps them find their way to the nectar.

Why are flowers generally colorful and fragrant?

Flowers' colours and scents are a sort of advertising, and are primarily to attract insects -- particularly bees -- to come and take nectar. In the process of doing so they will transfer pollen from one flower to the next, thus fertilizing the flower enabling it to produce seed and, where appropriate, fruit. Without pollination there would be no next generation of flowers.
