to attract more insects
- efficiency -
signals
liles:
petal - signal to bee - nectar
scent
sugar (reward)
----- plants invest energy to get the insect to pollinate it

grass doesn't invest energy in colour, scent, or sugar
- produces lots of pollen because its reproductive strategy is risky (wind)
invest energy in other things
adaptations/efficiency - putting/investing energy into things
