A gray hairstreak (Strymodon melinus) nectaring on a green milkweed (Asclepias viridis) nestled among bluebonnets and paintbrushes.
Not much out there for these little lovelies but the bells are appearing on the pieris so maybe I'll see one soon. Have a great day ;o)

A native bee in my garden. This is an Amegilla aka Blue-banded Bee. About 11mm long, they are so pretty and they are not aggressive. They are great pollinators.
They have thick, reddish-brown fur on their thorax and a black abdomen with iridescent blue, whitish, green or reddish furry stripes. The colours are caused by microscopic diagonal stripes engraved on each hair which reflect light causing these glittering colours. Males have five stripes and females have four. Their faces have yellow, cream or white markings: Land for Wildlife
I have been waiting anxiously for these bees to arrive in my garden. So far I have seen only 2..but hopefully there are more around unseen as yet by me.
One of the smallest animals to be seen in Chester Zoo. Not in an exhibit but flying free of bouderies.
I don't know what kind of a wasp this is; it's not as common as the annoying Yellow Jacket wasps that ruin our picnics. Much as we recoil from wasps, killing them willy-nilly means we are killing off an important pollinator.
'Queen of the Night' (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) cactus family plants originate in South American rainforests and bloom once a year, each flower for about eight hours. Pollination is effected by gypsy moths (and other insects) seeking nectar by clambering over the multi-lobed stigma and anthers suitably positioned for contact. This occurs in almost total darkness hence the enticing and effusive perfume of the flowers
