Description
Dilophus larvae are environmental helpers, playing a crucial role in decomposing and recycling organic materials, such as decaying plants. This not only prevents waste buildup but also enriches soil quality, promoting healthier plant growth. Adults are predominantly nectar feeders, contributing subtly to pollination. While they may not be as celebrated as bees, Dilophus's impact on our ecosystem is both vital and fascinating.
