Flower insects
Many flowers and other plants rely on pollinators to reproduce and pollinators rely on flowers for food. While some insects eat and damage flowering plants. Find out about the insect friends and foes of blooming plants.
Visit Flowers for pollinators for information on creating landscapes that provide habitat for bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects.
