Spring beauty miner bee, Andrena erigenia, Andrenidae
Spring beauty miner bees are a solitary, ground-nesting species that relies on spring beauty flowers (Claytonia virginica) to obtain nectar for themselves and both nectar and pollen for their larvae. The hairs on the female bee’s legs collect the striking pink pollen to bring back to her larvae. Found in the eastern United States and up into Canada.

thecrystalkeepers on ig
butterflies pictured (as far as i can tell, in order):
chocolate solider (junonia iphita), postman butterfly (heliconius melpomene), malachite butterfly (siproeta stelenes), blue moon butterfly (hypolimnas bolina), another two malachites, some type of lacewing butterfly (the coloration is throwing me off), another blue moon butterfly, two more malachites, and i think the top butterfly in the last gif is the chocolate solider from the first gif, and the one on their hand looks like another blue moon butterfly.
if i got any of these wrong, please let me know!
