Recording a "Little Bit of Pollination".
This is what results when no birds turn up for photos in Gosling Gardens.
I went back to the same spot that I shot a while ago, and saw that there were all these amazingly colorful flowers blooming in the background that hadn't been there before.

It’s easy to forget but humans have an immensely dependent and close relationship with the honey bee, the extinction of which would have devastating ramifications for the Earth’s ecosystem.
Last year, scientists warned of the dire threat to human welfare if bee populations...

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.

Can anyone ID this? That flower cluster on it was huge - maybe if I stretched my arms out, I could put a hand on either side.
... 8 years later I find myself back here at this photo, and I now think I recognize it as a Devil's Walking Stick, Aralia spinosa.
Just a glimpse, because I was simply too lazy to run back into the house for my other lens! You can see how crookedly the bug bath sits. That's life (but we will figure it out eventually).
