Flies as Pollinators

Green Bottle Fly

Although flies are not as hairy as bees, making them less effective at carrying pollen, research indicates that flies may contribute significantly to the pollination of North American flowers and many food plants.

Tachinid Flies

Tachinidae Archytas

Tachinid flies are amongst the largest families of true flies with approximately 8,000 species world wide. All tachinid flies are parasitoids, making them beneficial predators in the garden.
