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.

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.

Happy Wing Wednesday ;0)

Préservons la vie de ces animaux indispensables. Dans la Montagne Noire au printemps, la vie est partout.

An Eastern Swallowtail butterfly sips nectar from these beautiful flowers, and in the process the flower's pollen becomes attached.

As the butterfly moves from flower to flower drinking more nectar, the pollen is transferred.

Mother Nature is a master coordinator😊

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS AND FAVES

THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

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

Pollinators.

Lots of flowers to pollinate. Common milkweed

Bee on a sunflower. Love how it blends in with the same colours as the flower.

Common carder bee foraging on a knautia.

One of many on our climbing hydrangea.

(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.

Common Blue : Polyommatus icarus

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!
