  1. 🦋 POLLINATOR WEEK 🐝

    📰 Netherlands: Newly created biodiversity‑offset grasslands are already strong habitat for wild pollinators.

    🌼 Offset sites had 2X more wild bees than long‑established grasslands, plus higher bee species richness. Hoverflies and flower abundance were similar, even if species mixes differed.

    🛠️ Researchers stress that success depends on careful planning and active management.

    🌻 “...when implemented well, biodiversity offset sites can be as good, and may initially even be better, than existing sites in terms of wild pollinator species richness.”

  3. 🦋 POLLINATOR WEEK 🐝

    Saw a new native bee species in my garden today. Must have visited for Pollinator Week.

    Only had a backlit view unfortunately, but it looks like a "small carpenter bee" (Genus Ceratina) which nest in pithy stems. I'll make sure I have plenty of pithy stems nearby, so it does not have to haul all that pollen too far.

    Check out that yellow spot on its butt. 💚

    We want to help in any way we can because pollinators are up against many threats. And we need them. More:

  9. Another of my #termsOfVenery print for #PollinatorWeek: The delightful term for a group of moths is an eclipse. This hand-printed lino block print shows 5 of the noctunral moths of Ontario in front of the moon at a lunar eclipse. The 5 moths are: the gorgeous green Luna moth (Actias luna), the yellow and purplish-pink Imperial moth (Eacles imperialis), the Five-spotted Hawk Moth in brown with 🧵1/2

  11. One of my favourite #termsOfVenery prints for #pollinatorWeek:

    A kaleidoscope of butterflies!

    There are three each of the orange Isabella’s Longwings (Nymphalidae Eueides isabella), three yellow Eastern tiger swallowtails (Papilio glaucus), and three blue Red-Spotted Purples (Limenitis arthemis astyanax) in this #linocut kaleidoscope.⠀

  13. For #PollinatorWeek I am sharing the pollinator garden work which I made for my show *next week* about the future of pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems. Using collaged linocut prints I built up this little garden with multiple native wildflowers, bees, moths, butterflies, beetles and a log, complete with some holes as homes for native bees. 🧵1/2

  15. Pollinator Week is a great time to share this print, which expresses the central theme of my work about the Future of Pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems. Our food sources & ecosystems around us are dependent on pollinators (mostly bees & other insects, some birds & mammals) but insects populations have lost huge numbers and many species altogether.🧵

  21. Leaf cutter bees are visiting. In addition to bits of leaves, baby bees will have rose petals protecting them. #pollinatorWeek #gardening #nature
