Not a pollinator but a predator

Yes but I think we are supposed to record them for the pollinator survey because if they spend time on flowers waiting for prey they transfer pollen. I even confirmed that we are supposed to record caterpillars which mostly eat flowers.

You probably mean that I should not be ticking the pollinator box. That is possibly true but I am confused because of the pollinator survey rules.
