Best Answer

With more chances to eat, insects can reproduce more. Another reasons flowering plants helped increased the number of insects is with flowering plants around, insects can remain in an safer environment than if they were in the woods. With a safe environment, less insects are killed by predators, causing their population to increase over time.
