A native pollinator garden at work: A Yellow bumble bee (Bombus fervidus) foraging on firecracker penstamon. The Yellow bumble bee is designated as Vulnerable by the IUCN and shows a decreasing population trend. One of the threats to this species is habitat loss. Perhaps more pollinator gardens are needed.

Showy milkweed in bloom! While essential for Monarch butterfly reproduction, it also provides a valuable food source for other pollinators. June 18. #flowers #wildflowers #pollinators #NationalPollinatorWeek #idaho #ecology #nature #publiclands #nationalwildliferefuges

🐝 Before sunrise, a Bumble Bee sleeps on the mound of a Coneflower. That's dedication to the job. Gets up and starts working immediately.
🐛 Unbee-knownst, a caterpillar munches below. Probably a Geometer Moth caterpillar but haven't been able to get confirmation yet.
Good example of two ways insects interact with plants ecologically. Some eat them, other pollinate them.
Insects evolved in association with certain plants and have adapted to their defenses. Non-native plants can overrun natives and be inedible to the eaters.

Just in time for #NationalPollinatorWeek, the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation has released an important report related to butterfly conservation.
🦋 Notable Points
🔸Butterflies populations are declining rapidly.
🔸The major causes are pesticide use, habitat loss, and climate change.
🔸We can counter the decline by making sure that 🌱 host plants for caterpillars and 🌸 nectar plants for adults are available throughout the entire growing season.
🔸We should also stop using pesticides in locations butterflies live - including our gardens.
🔸Both of these will improve their resilience to climate change.
It's not complicated. We can do our part to help!🦋 Overview Article

On National Pollinator Week, people need to stop forgetting that parrots-- one of the most endangered families of birds-- are pollinators worthy of our protection

Looks like some false sunflower or oxeye (ID apps suggest Heliopsis helianthoides) along with its pollinator pals popping up along the trail at #TerryTrueBlood Recreation Area in Iowa City, Iowa. Its fun to take macros of wildflowers because its always a jungle in there.
