18. Pollinator

         This is a picture of a butterfly, which is an example of a pollinator. A pollinator is an organism that helps to fertilize a plant by carrying pollen from an anther to a stigma. Butterflies are common examples of pollinators; when they fly from flower to flower for nectar, pollen from the anther collects on the butterflies’ body and legs. When the butterfly moves to a different flower, it brings the pollen with it and pollinates the new flower. In this way, butterflies help plants reproduce.
