One feature of a flower that attracts the Hummingbird moth is its strong, sweet smell. This helps the flower get noticed by the moth since they're active at night and rely on their sense of smell. I think flowers would be more reproductively successful if they adapted to attract more than just the Hummingbird moth. If they could also attract other pollinators, like bees or butterflies, they would have a better chance of getting pollinated and making seeds, because different pollinators can help spread their pollen more widely. Plus, if one type of pollinator isn’t around, the flowers could still get help from others!
The 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 attracts the Hummingbird moth is its strong, sweet smell. Flowers would likely be more reproductively successful if they adapted to attract more than just the Hummingbird moth because having multiple pollinators increases their chances of getting pollinated. If one pollinator isn’t around, flowers could still rely on others to help spread their pollen and make seeds.
