Male Stick Insects will clutch to the back of a female and will join genital openings at the end of each of their tails/abdomens in order for the male to fertilize the eggs. A male stick insect will stay 'joined' to the female like this for weeks or months at a time, only leaving her briefly to eat. It has been known that some males become so attached to a female they will practically starve themselves to the point of death.

What are the agents of pollination of lotus?

The primary agents of pollination for lotus flowers are insects, such as bees and beetles. These insects are attracted to the sweet scent and nectar of the lotus flower, and as they move between flowers to feed, they inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another, facilitating pollination. Additionally, some lotus species are also pollinated by wind.
