There are many types of pollinators. Bees, birds, butterflies, and bats help flowers spread their pollen to make more flowers.
Over time, flowers have changed, so more pollinators want to visit and pollinate them.
Butterflies love bright colors. They like orange, red, yellow, pink, and purple flowers.
Bees cannot see the color red. They like flowers that are purple and blue.
Unlike bees, hummingbirds love red flowers.
Bats fly at night and love white flowers they can see in the dark.
There are many types of pollinators. Bees, birds, butterflies, and bats are some of the animals flowers attract to spread their pollen to make more flowers. Flowers need pollinators to stay alive, and pollinators need flowers for food.
Pollinators have changed in different ways to be able to collect food from flowers more easily. Flowers have also changed, so more pollinators want to visit and pollinate them.
Butterflies love bright colors. They like orange, red, yellow, pink, and purple flowers, like marigolds and hydrangeas.
Bees cannot see the color red. They like flowers that are purple and blue, like bluebells and speedwells.
Some flowers do not want bees to visit them, so they make themselves red. Unlike bees, hummingbirds love red flowers like hibiscus and firecracker plants.
Bats fly at night and love white flowers they can see in the dark, like ghost orchids.
