Butterfly Pollination



Soldier Pansy
Butterflies are very active through the day and visit array of wildflowers. Butterflies are less competent than bees at moving pollen between plants. Highly perched on their long thin legs, they do not pick up much pollen on their bodies and lack specialized structures for collecting it.

Butterflies search for nectar, their flight energy, and typically favours the flat, clustered flowers that provide a landing pad and abundant rewards. Butterflies have excellent vision but a weak sense of smell. Unlike bees, butterflies can see colour red well
