Abstract
- Highlights: [•] Aphid honeydew enhances adult hoverfly longevity. [•] When pollen and nectar are available, honeydew still generates additional survival. [•] Feeding on floral resources for only one week is sufficient for female reproduction. [•] This implies a reduced need to commute between feeding sites and oviposition sites. [•] Hoverfly larvae are able to suppress aphid colony growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
