I now pay attention as to "who" is in the flowers, and, much as I dislike wasps I don't go out of my way to destroy their nests anymore.
A few decades ago when I was packtripping into the Rockies I fould the wildflowers covered in flies. I literally had to shake them off the Penstemens in order to get a photo of the flower.
Here, in this part of the Boreal , we do not have them swarming the flowers, but they are there.
