Tracking Floral Visitors: Foraging Patterns in Aonla (Emblica officinalis Geartn. Phyllanthus emblica) Orchards

In this study, insect foragers from four orders namely Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, and Coleoptera, were observed visiting Aonla flowers (Table 1).Among these orders, Hymenopterans were the most abundant foragers, with nine species contributing the highest number of visits, followed by Lepidopterans (four species), Dipterans (three species), and Coleopterans (one species).Aonla blossoms attracted insects from five orders, seven families, nine genera, and twelve species, including four Hymenopterans,
