20 Butterflies sip nectar through long proboscis Or lay eggs on plant proboscis Many flies sip nectar from flowers Flower flies are bee mimics!
21 What flowers should you plant for pollinators? Take a long, close look at flowers. If bees, flies or butterflies are drinking nectar, or collecting pollen from them, they are good! Write down exact variety of the flower
