Just to add to this, many types of parasitoid wasps are fully dependent on pollen and nectar in their adult forms. Plants like Achillea millefolium, Solidago spp., Pycnanthemum spp., Eupatorium spp., and Apiaceae spp. are great additions to gardens for those who'd like these incredible insects patrolling for them.
