Comments

Is this the same as "Pollinating"?

Posted by silversea_starsong almost 9 years ago

The nectar food field is just to supply information about which plants are being used for food. Pollination may occur, but the field is not for that purpose.

Posted by lynnwatson almost 9 years ago

@lynnwatson: Any reason not to widen this to any nectar feeding taxa rather than just insects?

Posted by tony_wills about 8 years ago

Changed Insect Nectar Plant to Nectar Plant.

Posted by lynnwatson about 8 years ago
