@lknapp @tippitiwichet i love the blue on tiger swallowtails!!!
@hi_cial @tippitiwichet I have a ton of milkweed, but not a monarch in years. Really enjoy your pictures as well.

@crimedad Look at all that pollen! And such lush looking flowers 😍
StarravenNot my best, but the one I had immediate access to on my phone.
@starraven Okay, so that one is magnificent and I love the dusty fuzzy bee, so feel free to come back and post your best, lol

My favorite bee. I have hundreds of photos of this species. They nest in rotting logs in my garden.

@xris @autisticphotographer Wow, that's such a great shot! I love sweat bees, good to know they're one of the insects that might be benefiting from the stick pile I keep stashed under the porch :)
@autisticphotographer Awee such a tender moment :)
myrmepropagandist@futurebird Lookit that cute little bugger :)
Neia masks@neia Look, it's hard to get a good shot of the buggers! Beautiful pic nonetheless :)
Jon Sullivan@tippitiwichet I can't top this pollinator photo taken by Chris Ecroyd. It's of a New Zealand Pekapeka-Tou-Poto (lesser short-tailed bat) pollinating a Pua-o-te Reinga (Dactylanthus taylorii), one of NZ's few parasitic plants. Chris helped to figure out that this weird plant was reliant on this weird bat for its pollination.
Pua-o-te Reinga is a threatened "nationally vulnerable" plant as it's dependent on the roots of old growth forest trees, its flowers are now eaten by introduced rats and possums, and it's now only pollinated by Pekapeka-Tou-Poto bats, which are themselves now rare and nationally vulnerable.
@joncounts Cool! That's so awesome!
