One of my great frustrations in life is how little credit ants get as pollinators. Since ants have those superstar pollinators bees as cousins its understandable.What's even more remarkable is that some macrofauna can be pollinators too. Notably humans but now also Ethiopian wolfs.https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/06/science/wolves-flowers-pollinator-ethiopia/index.html

@futurebird we have these plants grown in our garden as an ornamental. I keep trying to convince my spouse that we should be licking them.
