The main insect groupings that include species that use flowers as a food source are: Butterflies and Moths (Lepidoptera), Bees and Wasps (Hymenoptera), Flies (Diptera) and Beetles (Coleoptera). Insects may use pollen, nectar, or both of these as a food, either for adults or to feed their young. Insect mouth parts vary in shape and size. This determines which types of flowers they can use.
