Pollination Behavior Reason
Eat Pollen Or Nectar
Chloe cracker flutters from flower to flower, primarily attracted by the vivid colors and the intricate shapes of blossoms. Feasting on the pollen for nourishment, it unwittingly collects and transfers pollen among the flowers it visits. This inadvertent yet crucial role ensures the cross-pollination of various plant species.
