I hoped this wasp would sit longer on this dandilion, but I only got two shots before it flew off. I think it's a wasp.
Maybe a Sonoran Bumble bee
In addition to honeybees, bumblebees are also dying. Over the past 10 to 15 years, four species of bumble bees have been found to suffer alarming population declines of up to 96 percent. I don't know which species this one is or if it impacted but its important to our crops and flowers.
This is a shot of the jumping spider Evarcha arcuata just before taking off into my lens. The pollen grains come from running around inside the flower of a Digitalis purpurea.
The shot above is taken with a reversed 50mm on a 100mm macro lens.
This is ecology in action. It looks like this beetle is working as a pollinator for this beautiful flower.
I would love help identifying both the plant and the beetle.
Plumeria (common name Frangipani; syn. Himatanthus Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.) is a small genus of 7-8 species native to tropical and subtropical Americas. The genus consists of mainly deciduous shrubs and trees. P. rubra (Common Frangipani, Red Frangipani), native to Mexico, Central America, and Venezuela, produces flowers ranging from yellow to pink depending on form or cultivar. From Mexico and Central America, Plumeria has spread to all tropical areas of the world, especially Hawaii, where it grows so abundantly that many people think that it is indigenous there.
Plumeria is related to the Oleander, Nerium oleander, and both possess poisonous, milky sap, rather similar to that of Euphorbia. Each of the separate species of Plumeria bears differently shaped leaves and their form and growth habits are also distinct. The leaves of P. alba are quite narrow and corrugated, while leaves of P. pudica have an elongated oak shape and glossy, dark green color. P. pudica is one of the everblooming types with non-deciduous, evergreen leaves. Another species that retains leaves and flowers in winter is P. obtusa; though its common name is "Singapore", it is originally from Colombia.
Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, and simply dupe their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar.
This Flower is Called Champa in your Country. Its tree is about 20 - 25 feet tall and very week if you climb on it, its branches will break. The Most Amazing Thing about this Flower is Lizard are highly attract this Flower and Rushes toward it Children use to fix this flower on the top of a wire and attracts Lizards . As the time goes on new colors and sizes are invent by the producers. They smell good. I have seen just Yellow color images on Flickr of this flower Love for all . Let see how you all find this one.

Plants benefit from pollinators because the movement of pollen allows them to reproduce by setting seeds. However, pollinators don't know or care that the plant benefits. They pollinate to get nectar and/or pollen from flowers to meet their energy requirements and to produce offspring. In the economy of nature, the pollinators provide an important service to flowering plants, while the plants pay with food for the pollinators and their offspring.

***************
▶ "Pycnanthemum albescens —also known as Whiteleaf mountain mint, Hoary mountain mint, and Silverleaf mountain mint— is an erect, many-branched herbaceous perennial in the Lamiaceae (mint) family [native to the south-central United States].
It typically grows 2-3 feet tall (0.6 - 0.9 m) on square stems like all members of the mint family but may grow to 5 feet tall (1.5 m). The stem is densely covered with short white hairs. White or lilac flowers with purple spots first mature in mid summer and continue into early fall. The hoary/white appearance of the upper leaves and bracts beneath its flower clusters gives the plant its common name. [According to a park placard] mountain mint is an important source of late spring and summer forage for native bees."

It seems that there are pollen EVERYWHERE where I go in Italy! Today they gave some nice atmospheric effect that I spotted when I took the train from Venice Meste station. The man on the photograph later checked our tickets.
Always nice when your subject gives you a pretty background.
