The flower of Queen Annes lace (L) is made up of many small flowers (R). Many of these small flowers come in big packages that we’d call a single flower, but are actually lots of tiny individual flowers grouped together. The best flowers for these small natural enemies are also small. Many of the natural enemies that can benefit most from floral resources are very tiny wasps, which will get lost in a big flower. However, the size and shape of a flower limit the kinds of insects that can access its pollen and nectar. Whether or not planting a specific flower will actually help reduce the abundance of a problematic garden pest depends on how effectively the flower brings in the more effective natural enemies.įlowers provide pollen and nectar as a sort of bribe to induce insects to transfer pollen from one flower to the next and cause pollination. Predatory bugs (such as nabid bugs, minute pirate bugs or twospotted stink bugs) can also be found on flowers, but they’re generally there to feed on thrips or other prey on the blossoms rather than feeding on the flowers themselves. Not all flower visitors are there for the nectar! Some of the many beneficial insects that visit flowers include lady beetles, green lacewings, syrphid flies, tachinid flies, sphecid wasps and various parasitic wasps.
By providing nectar and pollen, flowers can attract and keep the natural enemies of many pests in the home landscape, enhancing natural or biological control. Many natural enemy adults – particularly tiny wasps and flies – visit flowering plants to obtain nectar and pollen.
