Describes an animal that eats flowers, flower parts, or pollen as a primary part of its diet.
From Greek 'anthos' (flower) and 'phagos' (eating), literally meaning 'flower-eating,' following standard biological terminology.
Many insects are anthophagous, and this has created an amazing co-evolutionary dance where flowers evolved bright colors and sweet smells to attract the insects that eat them, and those insects evolved special mouthparts to reach deep nectar.
