many flowering plants use insects to help them reproduce. these plants attract
insects with brightly colored flowers and sweet - smelling nectar. when an insect visits a
plant to drink nectar, some of the plants pollen rubs off on the insect. the insect then
leaves to visit another plant. when the insect visits the next plant, the pollen from the
last plant can brush off. if that pollen reaches a plants stigma, the plant can reproduce.

attracted to a
plant.
