Solution
Entomophilous flowers are flowers that are pollinated by insects.
These flowers are usually large and brightly coloured to attract insects.
They usually emit scent and produce nectar for attracting insects.
They produce pollen grains that are sticky or spiny to enable them to be carried by the insects easily.
They tend to have a sticky stigma which generally does not hang out from the flower.
Their flowers tend to be in clusters to make them conspicuous, especially in cases where individual flowers are small.
Examples of entomophilous flowers include dahlia, rose, and bougainvillea.
