You can easily know whether flowers are wind pollinated by just looking at their structure. These flowers have very small petal and they do not have any scent or nectar to attract insects. The pollen is also produced in large quantities since most of it never gets to the other flowers.

How is cow parsley pollinated?

Cow parsley is primarily pollinated by insects, such as bees and butterflies. As these insects feed on the nectar of the flowers, they inadvertently transfer pollen between them, facilitating the reproductive process of the plant.


What are phytophagous insects?

Phytophagous insects are insects that primarily feed on plants for sustenance. They can cause damage to crops and vegetation by consuming plant materials such as leaves, stems, fruits, and roots. Some examples of phytophagous insects include beetles, caterpillars, and aphids.


In many flowers the pistils and stamens reach maturity at different times considering what you know about pollination why would this be an advantage to this plant?

Having the pistils and stamens mature at different times can help prevent self-pollination, promoting genetic diversity in offspring. It also increases the likelihood of cross-pollination, which can enhance plant fitness through the introduction of new genetic variations. Additionally, staggering the maturity of reproductive organs can help ensure successful pollination by attracting different pollinators at various times.


What insects carry pollen?

Bees, butterflies, beetles, and some species of flies and wasps are common insects that carry pollen from plant to plant during pollination. These insects play a crucial role in the reproduction and survival of many plant species.


What are the names of the herbivorous insects?

Animals that feed on plant tissues or plant products are often called herbivores. Grasshoppers, army worms, locust, and beetles are just a few.

If a plant has a sticky stigma is it wind or insect pollinated?

A plant with a sticky stigma is more likely to be insect-pollinated. The stickiness of the stigma helps to capture pollen grains brought by insects. Wind-pollinated plants typically have feathery stigmas to catch pollen grains carried by the wind.

Wind pollinated flowers do not make nectar why?

Nectar is produced by flowers to attract insects, bats or birds that will help to carry its pollen to other plants (and bring fresh pollen to it). If a plant is pollinated in the wind, then it doesn't need to spend the energy to make nectar.
