Caption

Images of insect pollinators visiting the flowers of Ligustrum obtusifolium, including beetles, bumble bees, syrphid flies, other flies, butterflies, and nocturnal moths. The study showed that even morphologically similar pollinators can differ substantially in the composition and heterospecificity of the pollen they carry.
