“…All other insect groups visited at least one of the years, although very infrequently. This is congruent with Willemstein (1987) who reported that M. sylvestris is mainly pollinated by long-tongued bees, but also by short-tongued Halictus species. Gorenflo et al (2017), in Germany, also found bees to be the main visitor of M. sylvestris comprising 98% of all insect visits, but found honeybees (A. mellifera) to be by far the most frequent visitor (88% of total visits to M. sylvestris), followed by two different Bombus species (B. lapidarius and B. terrestris; 8% of total visits combined) and Halictidae bees (1% of total visits).…”

“…Nevertheless, we predict that the small size of cotton fleahoppers would not prevent them from being pollinators of other host plants with smaller or composite (i.e., clustered) flowers, like those in the plant family Asteraceae or Apiaceae (Willemstein 1987;Wheeler 2001). Levin et al (1967), for example, found that plant bugs, Lygus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae), were an efficient pollinator of safflower, Carthamus tinctorius L. (Asteraceae).…”

“…One area where information regarding pollination services in cotton remains sparse is the capacity for less conspicuous insects to be pollinators. For instance, in addition to Hymenoptera, Diptera, and Lepidoptera, insects such as beetles (Coleoptera), thrips (Thysanoptera), and true bugs (Hemiptera) are known to be pollinators in other systems (Ananthakrishnan 1982;Kevan & Baker 1983;Young 1986;Willemstein 1987;Wheeler 2001). The only published research the authors could locate on this subject in cotton was by Pierre and Hofs (2010); they reported that flower beetles, Astylus atromaculatus (Blanchard) (Coleoptera: Melyridae) were unexpected, but efficient pollinators of cotton in South Africa.…”

“…The third species, Oxalis acetosella L. is considered to produce most of its seeds from cleistogamous flowers (Berg & Redbo‐Torstensson, 2000; Packham, 1978). However, our previous research indicated that O. acetosella is mostly out‐crossing (Naaf et al., 2021) with potential flower visitors including flies, thrips, beetles, bees and bumblebees (Packham, 1978; Willemstein, 1987).…”
