I used to have a greenhouse full of them with honeybees for pollination, but wife is now allergic to bee venom, so stopped growing them indoors. (It was one of the most profitable though)<<<

Here we have a wasp like insect that also pollinates, I have watched them at work.

Can you tell me, does a butterfly pollinate?

That they are beautiful to see, of that there is no doubt, but I have never been sure they had a purpose, other than beauty.

Don’t think their long thin legs attract much pollen - but they do nourish the soul...
