Indeed, One-third of world's agricultural crops depends upon pollination by animals, including birds, bats, lizards and other animals - but the main pollinators are insects. Insect pollinators include bees, (honey bees, solitary species, bumblebees); pollen wasps (Masarinae); ants; a variety of flies including bee flies and hoverflies; lepidopterans, both butterflies and moths; and flower beetles.
