How does insect pollination benefit the insect?

Answer 1

In holometabolous insects, larvae enjoy in only eating and growing, while adults are responsible for producing offspring and they don't eat much in some species. Pupal stage is the intermediate stage when all the transformation safely occur. Therefore, larvae and adults don't share food source, in another word, no food competition. And there is a division of labor, growing and reproduction separately. Living in different habitat is another amazing thing that only insect can do through metamorphosis. For instant, mosquito larvae live in the water, while adult can fly around and find blood meal. Imagine that, if human beings have the same ability as insects, then we will be able to swim like a fish and fly like a bird in our life.

Answer 2

The insects collect sweet nectar from the flowers. While they are drinking the nectar, pollen sticks to their bodies then when they land on other flowers to get more nectar the pollen fertilizes other flowers. Bees are good at pollinating flowers because they need lots nectar to make honey and they have furry bodies which makes the pollen stick better. Butterflies have long tounges to help them collect nectar from flowers.

Answer 3

Metamorphosis benefits species by allowing the insect to change into a more efficient form. While larvae are voracious eaters, butterflies and moths are able to mate, migrate, and pollinate.
