Ecological Benefits
Hoverflies are important pollinators as adults, while their larval form can help in the fight against aphid infestations and leafhoppers.
Threats to Hoverflies
Threats to Hoverflies
Pesticides
Pesticides
Pesticides indiscriminately kill insects and other organisms, making them dangerous to beneficial species such as hoverflies. Since hoverflies can reduce pest species that common insecticides are ineffective against, and they are pollinators, this can deal a double blow to gardeners and farmers. Over time these impacts can have unforeseen consequences on our food security and economic strain on farmers.

Powerful Pollinators "is a program designed to increase the prevalence, health and diversity of pollinators in the landscape. The program encourages the strategic planting of ‘trees for bees’ and other pollinators and provides Powerful Pollinators Planting Guides developed by experienced botanists and field ecologists for use by landholders.
The Guides specify relevant information about pollinator habitat and floral resources to enable users such as land managers, Landcare groups, nurseries and gardeners to select the most appropriate indigenous species that provide value for pollinators."
