Pollinators are animals that help plants to make seeds by moving pollen from one part of the flower of a plant to another part. This pollen then fertilises the plant so it can grow and produce food.

Butterflies pollinate plants while they are sipping nectar, a sweet liquid produced by flowers. When a butterfly lands on a flower, pollen grains stick to its body, especially on its long, straw-like mouthpart called a proboscis. When the butterfly moves to the next flower, some of these pollen grains rub off, pollinating the flower.

Butterflies, along with bees and other insects, play a vital role in helping plants to reproduce. Without them, we would have fewer flowers and plants, and fewer fruits and vegetables too. So next time you see a butterfly fluttering from flower to flower, remember, it's not just admiring the blossoms – it's doing important work!
