LionelB<p>This very fluffy yellow hoverfly looks like a newly hatched chick. It is Myathropea florea. </p><p>A group of them were chasing around in the sunshine and returning to the same group of leaves.</p><p><a href="https://expressional.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insects</span></a> <a href="https://expressional.social/tags/hoverflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hoverflies</span></a></p>

Sarah Arnold<p>Excited about our new project, FLYTHRIVE, with Olombria, NRI, Asplins and Summerberry Company. Hoverflies are amazing: dual-purpose beneficial insects! They are good little <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pollinators</span></a>, and many species also help control aphids! The larvae of the aphid-eating <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/hoverflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hoverflies</span></a> are voracious little predators that will eat up to a few dozen aphids per day.</p><p><a href="https://hortnews.com/flythrive-uses-ai-to-drive-natural-defences-and-deliver-value-to-growers/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hortnews.com/flythrive-uses-ai</span><span class="invisible">-to-drive-natural-defences-and-deliver-value-to-growers/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/PestManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PestManagement</span></a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/IPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IPM</span></a> <a href="https://sciencemastodon.com/tags/Horticulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Horticulture</span></a></p>

Sarah Arnold<p>Work by Dr Katie James during her PhD found that getting it right really pays off - if plants were pollinated by both hoverflies and bumblebees, fruits were overall bigger, heavier, and typically better quality than self-pollinated plants, or those pollinated by only hoverflies, and sometimes better than fruits from bumblebee-only plants too.
