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

Missing them?

I like the purple pollen from the poppy on the back of the bumblebee.

(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!

(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!

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.
