Food and shelter are reasons why plants attract bugs. As members of the insect order Hemiptera, bugs find places for feeding, hiding, mating, and resting among plant flowers, foliage, and fruits.

Plants can attract bugs for a variety of reasons, such as providing food sources like nectar or pollen, emitting fragrances that attract pollinators, or offering shelter or breeding grounds. Some bugs may also be attracted to plants as a host for laying eggs or as a hiding spot from predators.

Many plants depend on insects to act as the "middlemen" in reproduction. The insects move pollen from the male part of the plant to the female part, something which the plant is incapable of doing for itself or to catch it prey if it is a carnivorous plant.
