  Indeed. They were definitely into it. Fun fact -- even though syrphid flies aren't as efficient at pollination per flower when compared to bees, they offer comparable pollination services overall because they visit a large variety of flowers at a higher frequency than bees. Plus, their larvae eat plant pests, like aphids. Posted 3 years ago
