Here's a little guide to help you find out more about insects on your allotment

Our thanks to Sara Robin for this guide to pollinators and other insects you can find on many allotments. Thanks too to Dr Roger Key for his expert help.
Allotments are one of the best places in which to find insects and there is great fun to be had in being able to identify the creatures you spot.
Many of these creatures pollinate your fruit and vegetables, but they may also have other benefits.  Hoverfly adults are pollinators and some of their larvae eat aphids. Lacewing and ladybird larvae also eat aphids, and some ground beetles eat slugs.You can download a pdf of the guide by clicking on this link https://tinyurl.com/352enatj
