This Green Blow fly (Lucilia cuprina), is feeding on the flower of Garlic Chives. Flies are second only to bees when it comes to pollination and are the main pollinators of Cacao trees from which chocolate is made. Unlike honeybees, flies don’t need to carry pollen and nectar back to a hive, they visit flowers to sip on the nectar themselves.
