Flowering & PollinationIs every insect seen on a mango flower an effective pollinator?
A visitor may seek nectar, feed on floral tissue, hunt other insects, or simply rest on a cluster. Effective pollen transfer depends on what it touches and where it moves afterward. Record behavior rather than counting all insects as equivalent. If a management decision depends on their role, obtain identification and assess flower damage alongside visits, since a busy panicle can contain both beneficial visitors and organisms causing harm.
