Hoverflies

Hoverflies, also called flower flies, not only pollinate many fruit crops, but also prey on other insects that harm plants.

NATURAL PEST CONTROL

Some insects and other creepy-crawlies are a pest because they nibble on crops. Large farms often use manmade pesticides to keep pests under control, but some farms use natural pest control, which can be less harmful to the environment. Organic farms use many different methods, including crop rotation, crop isolation, and growing other plants nearby that ward off pests. Farmers also encourage other insects, like ladybugs and midge flies, that prey on harmful pests.
