Plant-Insect Interaction


The picture above shows an insect interaction with a flower. Insects have a major role in the pollination of many flower species. For example, bees, like the one in the picture above, travel from flower to flower gathering pollen along the way. They carry the pollen to each flower they touch and begin the cycle of fertilization for the plant. Some insect pollinated plants would not be able to grow or even exist without our little insect friends.
