• well, I%26#039;m not sure about all insects, but I do know some insects like bees are more attracted to certain colors of flowers.
• Yes, depending on the colors of their food sources. Yellow is especially popular across many species. They can also see ultraviolet as a color, and some prefer it.
• I read somewhere that bees are attracted to yellow because that%26#039;s what color most centers of flowers are, and that%26#039;s how they get the nectar. That%26#039;s why if you are wearing yellow or have a yellow car, you will have bees attracted to you.
