Pollinators
A. Only 2 insects visited this plant during the 15 minutes I watched it. Both times, the insects landed and then flew away very quickly before I was able to take a picture of it.
B. No, my predictions did not match the pollinators that stopped at my plant. Based on the key, my predictions were birds, butterflies, and bees. The insects that visited this plant were none of those. I don't know what type of insect they were. They were extremely small and I was unable to take pictures of them.
C. My calculated pollinator per hour per flower is less than 2. There are 6 flowers in this picture and I only saw 2 pollinators. 8/6= 1.33
D. My site was much lower than this average. But it is possible that I visited my flower at the wrong time of day and if I had been there at a different time, I would have seen more pollinators.
E. I think that pollinator service could serve as a proxy for soil production. Some of the pollen could fall to the earth and provide nutrients for the soil.
