Many insects eat pollen. In the process of eating becomes the subject of it. Pollination occurs when the pollen feeder transfer pollen to pollen recipients of the same plant or another plant of the same nature as insect look for more pollen to eat.
Drawbacks of attracting a pollen feeder:
- Eating too much postal facility want delivered - pollen.
- They tend to be general feeders and eat other parts of the plant, including sexual organs.
- They can be regarded as' unreliable pollinators' as a pollinator can not go anywhere near the female organs of the same species of plant.
