Scientists studied 10 blackberry-growing areas in the South East of England in July 2021.

Scientists from the University of Sussex say moths are better plant pollinators than bees. PLOS ONE writes about it.

Researchers studied 10 sites in the South East of England in July 2021. During the study, they looked at the contribution of both nocturnal and diurnal insects to blackberry pollination.

In particular, scientists monitor the number of insects that visit flowers. This was done using camera traps. Thus, it became known how quickly pollen is deposited at different times of the day.

As a result, it turns out that 83% of insect visits per day, the largest number of which are moths. They pollinate the flowers faster. Bees need more time to carry pollen.

In addition, according to scientists, moths also contribute significantly to the short hours of darkness.

Remember that early scientists from the UK proved that insects, like humans, love to play.
