Abstract

Nectar is one of the most important foods for majority of dipterans with respect to adult energetic requirements for flight in dispersing, finding mates, mating, and searching sites for oviposition (Larson et aI, 2001). The flies therefore spend much of their time on flowers. The true flies of late Jurassic period with long mouth parts also support their nectar feeding ability. Many species of Diptera visit flowers, and their abundance on plants could indicate their importance as pollinators as well as the importance of flowers in their diet. So knowledge on dipteran flower visitors is required as they perform vital role in pollination.
