Pollination, Plants and Insects

This video explains an ineresting and complex pollination process involving insects and milkweed. Pollination in this common plant is very similar to the pollination of Orchids. The video is designed as a resource for teaching plant biology, particularly plant-insect relationships.
Milk weed makes an interesting addition to a wild flower garden. Collecting seeds in the Autumn is easy.

Excellent - it provides a good description.

Question - I've read that the pollinia need to go into the stigmatic groove.

I'd like to see a description of this.

Very nice video but I think assassin bugs are more likely taking advantage of trapped insects on the plant.
