What part of the flower attracts pollenators?
Insect pollinators are attracted by the petal, and its colour first. Some bees and butterflies have four or more colour receptors in their eyes, (we have only three) and can see into the ultraviolet region, which we cannot. Scent also plays its part particularly if the plant 'wants' the insect to enter the flower.Orchids are renowned for their curious fertilization mechanisms, and some even resemble female insects so the target insect will attempt to mate, thus fertilizing the flower. Other orchids such as the Pterostylis, have a slippery labellum which, when the insect lands on it, springs back, dumping the insect into the globular base of the flower, from where it has to climb out in such a manner as to fertilize the flower.
How does reproduction occur in a flower?
The pollen of a male male flower is transported by a bumble bee or some other insect. The insect lands in a female flower and leaves the pollen behind.
Why do flower have attractive colors and sweet smell?
This attracts pollinators including birds, bees, butterflies and other animals to eat the plant, and meanwhile accidentally pollinate it. So the smell and color are key to insuring another generation of that plant.
How do butterflies and flower help each other?
Flowers help butterflies by providing them with food. Butterflies help flowers by spreading their seeds. Butterflies also help aid the flowers with pollination.
What is the part of a plant that attracts pollinators?

Why do animals visit flowers?
Usually, the insect visits a flower to get the nectar, which is rich in sugars. Bees visit for the nectar and the pollen.To collect the nectar they produce. The pollen the flower has is attached to the body of the insect and as they go from flower to flower its causes pollination.
Why do butterflies and moths visit flowers one after the other?
Butterflies and moths use their eyes to locate the flowers. To visit it one after the other one of them must leave first before the other one occupies the flower.
What might happen if the same insect goes to another flower?
If the insect carries pollen from one flower to another, it can facilitate cross-pollination, leading to the fertilization and production of seeds in the second flower. This can enhance genetic diversity, improve reproductive success, and potentially increase biodiversity in the ecosystem.
