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.
Do insects have more than one cell?

What is two reason number of insects species may have increased when flowering plants appeared?
With more chances to eat, insects can reproduce more. Another reasons flowering plants helped increased the number of insects is with flowering plants around, insects can remain in an safer environment than if they were in the woods. With a safe environment, less insects are killed by predators, causing their population to increase over time.
A farmer grows ten crops instead on one How might this decrease insect damage to plants?
Crop insect damage is usually caused by insects that feed on that crop specifically. For example, corn borers feed on corn, but not on soybeans, wheat or hay. If a farmer grows ten different crops, and rotates them year-to-year on all his fields, no single field will have a given crop more than once in every ten years. Most of these damaging insects have a life cycle that is not conducive to reproductive success within that length of a crop cycle. In short, the farmer just isn't growing the crop frequently enough for the insects to develop a strong foothold.

What are the problems of using herbicides?
Herbicides kill plants and insecticides kill insects. Sometimes they kill other things such as animals and fish as well. As they travel downstream they may harm wildlife and wild animals. If they get into the water supply used by humans they could be poisoned too. We rely on the balance of nature for many predators to be killed off. Many insects naturally prey on other insects. If an insect that damages plants does not have its numbers limited by the insect that preys on it it will carry our more damage than usual and may do more damage than the plants can recover from. Once the balance of nature is lost it is difficult to exactly work out what the consequences might be.
