Hoverflies carried pollen from 59 plant taxa, suggesting they visit a wider number of plant species than previously appreciated.

Overall pollen transport network structures were generalised, similar to other pollination networks elsewhere. All hoverfly species were also generalised with few exclusive plant/hoverfly interactions.
