Q: How do flies help pollinate?⠀
⠀
A: Flies are a very abundant and diverse group of insect pollinators. Many visit flowers and help transport pollen. Many also serve other key beneficial roles as predators, parasitoids, decomposers, etc. during their life cycle. Flower flies (Syrphidae) are some of the more common and most are bee or wasp mimics.⠀
