The butterfly has a long probuscis in order to gather nectar from this smaller flower, which then deposits its pollen onto the butterfly Family: Asclepiadaceae Pollination Syndrome: Phalaenophily Native Bees Pollination Syndrome: Myophily Sphinx Moth Family: Campanulaceae Order: Apodiformes Order: Hymenoptera Asclepias Asperula Family: Asteraceae Pollination Syndrome: Psuedocopulation Order: Hymenoptera Buckeye Butterfly The flower lets out a heavy scent in order to attract the beetles, which spread the pollen. Family: Fabaceae Pollination Syndrome: Mellitophily Echinacea purpurea Order: Lepidoptera Melampodium leucanthum By Hannah Willard and Alexis Williams Hawkmoth Engelmannia Peristenia Blister Beetles Paper Wasp Verbesina encelioides Pollinating Syndrome: Phalaenophily Sonchus arvensis Polination Syndrome: Psychophily Castilleja indivisa Order: Coleoptera Pollination Syndrome: Psuedocopulation Order: Hymenoptera Order: Lepidoptera The flower has similar coloring to a yellow jacket, drawing the wasp towards it and enticing it to copulate with it, and then spread the pollen it collects. The flower releases pheromones to attract the flies, which feed off of its nectar, and spreads it amongst other flowers.
