- Have large brightly coloured petals; which attract insects.
- Presence of nectaries that secrete sweet-scented nectar which serve as bait for the insects.
- Have small, sticky stigmas which enable the pollen grains from the insects' body to stick onto it.
- Anthers are small and held firmly onto the filaments to ensure that they don't break when the insects rub against them as they crawl into the flower.
- Have large, heavy, and sticky pollen grains to stick on the insects' bodies.
- The anthers produce few but large grains to increase the chances of their transfer to a stigma for pollination.
- Flowers normally have shapes that are convenient for the insects' bodies thus the insects fit comfortably e.g. flower petals forming a corolla tube
