I spotted this Meadow Brown butterfly pollinating a thistle on my walk last week.

Doubling up for the missed days of Pollinator Week. This Common buckeye butterfly (Junonia coenia) was along the gravel path at the Springfield Conservation Nature Center. Recent rains had made the minerals a bit more accessible.

Happy Wing Wednesday : )

The agastache plant in my backyard is popular with hummingbirds and carpenter bees, as they're the only pollinators that can access the nectar. Hummingbirds don't like to share, however, so this one probably isn't thrilled to see that bee.

With all the stories about problems with honey bees, I am always very happy to see these pollinators in my yard.

(315/365) There were still a few flies enjoying the sunshine & the Ivy flowers in my local lane today. Lovely to see them so late in the year. Happy Wing Wednesday & HFDF!

I think this is a Meadow Brown, but not being a flutter-biologist, I could be very wrong.

Ants are not considered to be good pollinators but they certainly love flower nectar, like many other insects.

(173/365) Our Lupins are covered in Honey bees, they not "our" bees sadly, we sold our hives a couple of years ago but a lady who lives about 1/2 a mile away has hives in her garden & her bees are happy to visit our garden HBBBT!

Close up of a bee orchid flower. If you see carefully, the dark part of the flower is shaped and coloured very much like a bee - in particular a female bee. This fools the male bees and they get onto the flower in a futile attempt to mate. This, however, serves the plant's purpose of pollination.

Missing them?

Large Skipper : Ochlodes sylvanus

Thanks to everyone who took time to view, comment or fave!!

By the looks of this honey bee it's been very busy collecting. HWW
