Dear all,

For ones not an identification question (I hope that is okay). But a question about the techniques diptera use for pollen transport.

I'm working on my Bsc literature thesis about the importance of non-bee pollinators, so I'm also looking at Diptera. But I can't find anywhere how diptera transport pollen. Is it just as for coleoptera that the pollen get stuck in the setea and pubescence? Or is it something else? Most preferebly with scientific literature :)

Thanks in advance,
Koen Verhoogt
