article: Another Year of Pollination: Viscin Threads (Awkward Botany). From the man who brought us pollenkitt, now there’s viscin threads! I know you’re wondering about the difference between them: “While pollenkitt’s stickiness adheres pollen grains together, viscin threads are more of a tangling device. Single pollen grains or pollen grain groupings called tetrads become tangled up together and then become entangled with a visiting insect, bird, or bat and carried away to a nearby flower.” These are found in plants in only two families: Onagraceae (evening primrose) and Ericaceae (heath) and one subfamily of the pea family, Caesalpinioideae.
