Definition
Feeding on or eating flowers, flower parts, or flower products like pollen and nectar.
Etymology
Latin 'flos' (flower) + '-vorous' (eating), from 'vorare' (to devour). The term was standardized in zoological literature in the 1800s to classify herbivorous animals with specialized flower-eating habits.
Kelly Says
Some beetles eat only one species of flower their whole lives—they're so florivorous and specialized that if their flower goes extinct, so do they, making them surprisingly vulnerable to climate change.
