No Chocolate Midge = No Chocolate.

Oh yes…I am a chocolate lover.

Seems like the cacao doesn’t make life easy for pollinators to do their thing, so…if it wasn’t for the Chocolate Midge, we would have no chocolate chip cookies.

I cannot live in a world without chocolate chip cookies.

Thank you Chocolate Midge.

Could the cacao with its coy reproductive system have a clandestine, strong-flying native pollinator species that scientists just haven’t noticed?
