''Micropterix elegans'' is a species of moth belonging to the family Micropterigidae that was described by Stainton in 1867,〔(''Micropterix elegans'' ) at The Global Lepidoptera Names Index.〕 and is endemic to Israel. Adults are important pollinators of ''Cyclamen persicum''. They feed on pollen, copulate and oviposit within the flowers. From the rarity of buzz-pollination on their host plant, it is thought that the genus ''Cyclamen'' co-evolved with large bees capable of buzz-pollination, but lost its original pollinators for unknown historical reasons. The vacant niche was then open to various unspecialized pollen consumers such as thrips, hoverflies and small solitary bees. These are not specific to ''C. persicum'' and seem to play a minor role only, while ''M. elegans'' strictly relies upon Cyclamen and seems to be the most efficient pollinator. == References ==
