China 032 2011 VERMICULIPHILY NATURE PRECEDINGS.pdf Excellent Shots…….nice use of jeep Very good study …. Identifying a pollinator of a particular species must be a tedious job with great patience. I do not know whether this hoverfly is generalist or specific to this orchid (egg laying though indicate specific relationship) this case is very similar to the co-evolution of Yucca whiplei and Pronuba yuccasela case. Thanks a lot sir.
