Insects use electromagnetic waves, specifically ultraviolet (UV) light, to locate nectar sources. Many flowers have ultraviolet patterns that guide insects to their nectar, as insects can see in the UV spectrum.

Some insects use ultraviolet waves to find nectar. The ultraviolet light leaves marks on flowers, and the insects can sense them and find the nearby nectar.
Bees utilize polarized light waves and olfactory cues to locate nectar. They are sensitive to ultraviolet light, which helps them detect patterns on flowers that are invisible to the human eye. Additionally, bees can perceive scent molecules released by flowers, guiding them to nectar sources effectively. This combination of visual and olfactory information enables bees to efficiently forage for food.
The sweet liquid that attracts insects to a flower is called nectar. There are several different insects that feed on a flowers nectar including bees.
Ultraviolet light can be seen by bees, but not humans. Bees also cannot distinguish red from black.
Mosquitoes are attracted to ultraviolet light because it mimics the light emitted by certain flowers, which they associate with a potential food source. This attraction is believed to help them locate nectar and other nutrients they need for survival.
