Flowering & PollinationAre flies visiting mango flowers necessarily the fruit flies that infest mangoes?
Flower-visiting flies include groups distinct from the fruit pests managed later in the crop cycle. Identify the insect rather than classifying every fly by the same common name. Photographs showing its body and behavior can help an adviser separate a useful visitor from a recognized pest. This distinction matters at bloom, when indiscriminate removal of all flies can work against the pollen-transfer service the grower is trying to support.
