The rose gill turtle pollinates a lip-shaped flower
Pollination and pollination are two different concepts, pollination is the process of pollen reaching the pistil stigma under the action of external forces such as wind, insects, artificial, etc. The process by which the pollen is received by the stigma. When translated into English, pollination uses the active voice (to pollinate) and the passive voice (to be pollinated) is used for pollinated.
Some beetles can pollinate certain flowering plants, and in this sense, these beetles play an important role in the reproduction of plant populations. In general, unlike butterfly flowers and bee flowers, the flowers pollinated by beetles are larger, flattened or shallowly disc-shaped (which is related to the morphology of the beetles and the structure of the mouthparts), greenish or beige, strong or even pungent, similar to the taste of ripe fruit or rot. However, there are also a few beetle-pollinated flowers that are small, colorful, with deeper, fragrant, or fragrant flowers.
In the history of biological evolution, beetles may be the first insect taxa to pollinate plants. In order to prevent the beetle from biting with its chewing mouthparts during pollination, the plant did not evolve a mechanism to attract and retain the beetle for a long time, but many pistils have specialized ovary to prevent the bite of the beetle to a certain extent.
The beetles that can pollinate plants are mainly some of the following families: Giddingaceae, Flower Firefly Family, Celestial Bull Family, Guo Gong Family, Pyraceae, Red Fireflies, Phylumaceae, Flower Fleas, Flower Fleas, Lutailaceae and Golden Turtle Family.
