授粉昆虫、蜜蜂、熊蜂、蝴蝶和飞蛾被发现能够区分数字，如果这些数字是以对称的图形表示的。这种能力似乎取决于昆虫的心理发展阶段，并且在不同的群体中差异很大。不同组的nos。在花的类型中有明确的表达，可以作为传粉昆虫寻找植物的指针。花型的比较研究为有花植物的进化提供了新的途径。
Pollinating insects, bees, bumble-bees, butterflies, and moths have been found able to distinguish numbers, if these are expressed in symmetrical figures. This ability seems to be dependent upon the stage of psychic development of insects and varies considerably among different groups. Different groups of nos. are clearly expressed in the flower types and may serve as pointers for pollinating insects to find their plants. The comparative study of flower types provides a new approach to the evolution of flowering plants.
