he Hummingbird moth is mostly active at night. They are attracted to a strong, sweet odor. Like hummingbirds, they can remain suspended in the air in front of the flower. They can unfold their tongues to reach into several types of flowers.

Given this information, in three to five sentences, answer the following questions:

What is one feature of a flower that is trying to attract the Hummingbird moth as a pollinator?
Considering the information above and what your knowledge from this lesson, would flowers be more reproductively successful if they adapted to more than just the needs of one pollinator, such as the Hummingbird moth? Explain your answer

One feature of a flower that is trying to attract the Hummingbird moth as a pollinator is a strong, sweet odor. The flower releases a scent that is appealing to the moth, drawing it towards the flower for pollination.

Flowers would be more reproductively successful if they adapted to more than just the needs of one pollinator, such as the Hummingbird moth. This is because relying on just one specific pollinator increases the risk of reproductive failure if that pollinator's population declines or if it is not available during certain seasons. By attracting a variety of pollinators, flowers have a higher chance of successful pollination and reproduction, ensuring the continuation of their species. Additionally, attracting different pollinators allows for cross-pollination and genetic diversity, which can be beneficial for the overall health and adaptation of the flower species.
