Common nectar-consuming pollinators include mosquitoes, hoverflies, wasps, bees, butterflies and moth
Nectar is a sweet, sugar-rich liquid that plants produce in special glands called nectaries, using it to attract pollinating animals like bees, butterflies, and other insects. In exchange for feeding on this nectar, these animals pollinate the flowers or help protect the plant from pests, creating a mutually beneficial relationship.
