Two items on which flowers insects visit and on pollination
We often see many tiny creatures visiting gardens. Butterflies are attracted to flowers. While visiting these flowers, they perform a very important task for the plants. It is that insects help in pollination. When insects sit on flowers, stick to their legs or wings. These tiny pieces get transferred to another place when the insect flies away. This shifting process is essential for the garden to grow.
