Re: Fragile

Did you know @Appleblossom  that fliea are more prolific pollenators than bees?  We really only appreciate bees because they pollenate our food, but flies pollenate everything...and if it weren't for flies, the world would be constantly covered in carcasses.  Also, they protect us from far more illnesses than they give us, because for example they constantly feed on ground parasites.

Re: Fragile

Does that mean I can let the flies feast at my next bbq? Lol

You are right. Poor things have suffered such discrimination. They are experimenting using flies to pollinate crops due to the varroa mite parasite.

 

Nature is usually more complex than first meets the eye.
