How does insect pollination occur?

Answer 1

Insects typically pollinate flowers as they move from plant to plant searching for food. Many flowers produce nectar, a sugary liquid that many insects eat. When an insect lands on a flower to feed, pollen grains stick to its body. As the insect moves to another flower of the same species, these pollen grains are transferred to the flower's stigma and pollination occurs. Perhaps the most well-known pollinator insects are bees and butterflies, but wasps, moths, flies and beetles can be pollinators as well.

Answer 2

Insect pollination occurs when insects visit flowers to collect nectar or pollen for food. As they move between flowers, they inadvertently transfer pollen from the male part of the flower (anther) to the female part (stigma), leading to fertilization and the production of seeds. Bees, butterflies, ants, and beetles are common insect pollinators.
