Happy #PollinatorWeek! It's time to give a shoutout to all the insects, birds, and mammals that help move pollen. This diverse group of creatures works hard and give us the benefits of the food, beautiful flowers, healthy ecosystems, and clean air they help create.

For pollinators, the most crucial part of their job is timing. Most pollinators base their reproduction, migration patterns, or lifecycles around the availability of plants with pollen. These plants typically grow and bloom within certain conditions, giving pollinators a tight window of time to do their work.

This time last year, Mount Rainier was experiencing a record breaking heat-wave. This year, snow levels have been well above average for May and June. Not only does this make planning vacations difficult, it creates serious challenges to a pollinator's livelihood! With these types of extreme variations in weather, pollinators run the risk of getting out of sync with the plants they both pollinate and rely on for food and shelter.

There are several other hurdles that pollinators have to cross, but many ways that we can help. You can show them your appreciation simply by learning more! Click the link below to understand the value of pollinators, what challenges they face, and what you can do to protect them. ~mr

It’s Pollinator Week!! Celebrate with our cute art print...

Pollinators

Listed now in our Etsy shop

Pollinator Week is an annual celebration in support of pollinator health that was initiated and is managed by Pollinator Partnership. It is a time to raise awareness for pollinators and spread the word about what we can do to protect them. The great thing about Pollinator Week is that you can celebrate and get involved any way you like! Popular events include planting for pollinators, hosting garden tours, participating in online bee and butterfly ID workshops, and so much more. However you choose to celebrate this year, be sure to register your event on the map below, and share your story with us by tagging us on social media using the hashtag #PollinatorWeek.

Happy Pollinator Week!

What is a pollinator? A pollinator is anything that helps carry pollen from the stamen (male part of the flower) to the stigma (female part of the same or another flower). This movement of pollen causes the plant to become fertilized so it can produce seeds, young plants, and fruits. While some plants are self-pollinating or fertilized by pollen being carried by wind or water, other plants are pollinated by insects and wildlife. This can include bees, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, birds, and small mammals, including bats. 

What is all the buzz about? Pollinators help to provide resources essential to quality of life on earth including food, clean air, habitat, stable soils, and biodiversity. The hard work of pollinators yields all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and seeds. Insects and animals pollinate at least 75 percent of all the flowering plants on earth! This amounts to more than 180,000 different types of plants and 1,200 food crops. Pollinators’ major role in crop production means they contribute to a healthy economy. People and pollinators are deeply connected! 

Pollinators are threatened by climate change, habitat loss, non-native species, parasites, diseases, and pesticides. You can help take action to help protect pollinators in your own backyard by providing them with healthy habitat as they help to sustain ours! Check out these resources to learn more: Helping in Your Backyard - Pollinators (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) and Pollinators (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)  

What do pollinators provide for you?

I know that PollinatorWeek is over, and I had absolutely no time to post my insect photos, but I just looked up this little guy, and their name is so great in Hungarian I had to check their English names as well: turns out they're called nine-spotted moth or yellow belted burnet. Such beautiful little creatures and their caterpillar is a real fluffball <3

Background fun.  Note that in one picture in this series we put a background of grass in our mini-insect studio in front of the black velvet curtain.  What do you think ...pro? con? This is Anthidium illustre a snappy looking beast from the Rocky Mountains west.  I know that this specimen came from Clare Kremen's group and am pretty sure it came from their Central Valley Yolo County hedgerow study.  Photos by Anders Croft.

MEXICAN LONG-NOSED BAT (Leptonvcteris nivalis)

On display at Michener Art Museum’s excellent new “Sarah Kaizar: RARE AIR” exhibition, featuring original gouache & ink artwork from the book RARE AIR: Endangered Birds, Bats, Butterflies, and Bees.

“Mexican long-nosed bats undergo long periods of separation from their mates. Each year from March to July, males separate into nonmigratory "bachelor colonies" while the pregnant females migrate 700 miles. Their journey starts in central Mexico and ends as far north as the southwestern United States. When they arrive in their northern range, female Mexican long-nosed bats have fewer culinary options than in central Mexico. While the southern end of their range provides over forty plant species for the bat to feed on and pollinate, the northern region offers only the agave plant. This narrow selection leaves the bat more dependent on human agriculture than it was in the first part of the year, and animal-agriculture partnerships can frequently prove tricky. Mexican long-nosed bats prefer plants with more open blooms. If farmers wish to aid the hungry mothers, therefore, the agave must be allowed to grow as tall as it can. While it may seem straightforward enough to let a plant grow to its fullest, this stretching of plant matter can lead to less profitable harvests: some agave farmers "castrate" their plants by removing the base of the agave's stalk before it blooms.”

Final Day of #nationalpollinatorweek : A Male Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) bringing a Sphinx Moth caterpillar to its nest in the Birch Tree in my yard. Orioles eat fruit, nectar and insects. While feeding on nectar, their bodies become dusted in pollen and they act as pollinators for many plants, especially in Mexico and South America where they spend their Winters. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #nationalpollinatorweek2020 #baltimoreoriole #orioles #oriolesofinstagram #ornithology #birdphotography #nesting #nestingseason #birdnest #naturephotography #naturephoto #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #simcoeontario #norfolkcounty #dscvrnc #pollinatorweek #pollinators #birdpollination #wildlifeathome #wildlifeofinstagram #birdphotos (at Simcoe, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_ZGRQpUmL/?igshid=19ra58ff9m9c1
