Pollinator: Green Bottle Fly

A Pollinator is an insect that carries pollen from one flower to another. They do this by flying into the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma of a flower to accomplish fertilization flying to another flower and doing the same thing. Usually the pollinator, which in this case is a fly, is collecting pollen from the flower and that is how pollination occurs, but sometimes, they may just land on the flower and pollinate it by accident due to hiding or breading. By these pollinators helping the plants pollinate, the plants are able to make more flowers, which then allows the process to start over.
