Entomophily is a form of plant pollination whereby pollen is distributed by insects, particularly bees, Lepidoptera ( flies and beetles.

Most species of Lepidoptera engage in some form of entomophily ( more specifically psychophily and phalaenophily for butterflies and moths, respectively ), or the pollination of flowers.
13.
The flowers are usually pollinated by moths ( hence the common name of the plant ), butterflies and bees ( entomophily ), but they are capable of automatic self-pollination.

"Brassia " has a very specific method for pollination : it uses entomophily : pollination by insects and in this case specifically by female lip, while trying to grasp its prey without any success.

"' Entomophily "'or "'insect pollination "'is a form of pollination whereby pollen of plants, especially but not only of flowering plants, is distributed by insects.
16.
The flowers are pollinated by various bees like " Andrena agilissima " and flies ( entomophily ) . " Sinapis arvensis " is the host plant of the caterpillars of some Lepidoptera, such as the small white, " Pieris rapae ".

Entomophily, pollination by insects, often occurs on plants that have developed colored petals and a strong scent to attract insects such as, bees, wasps and occasionally ants ( Hymenoptera ), beetles ( Coleoptera ), moths and butterflies ( Lepidoptera ), and flies ( Diptera ).

The ancestral state of this clade and the origin of figs'distinctive inflorescence the syconium was disputed until recently, but new phylogenetic analyses suggest that the evolution of entomophily and of an involucre of bracts surrounding the flower primordia preceded the divergence of these two groups, estimated to have occurred at least 83 Mya.
