Butterflies and bees are the most well known pollinators in the world, but did you know certain flowers attract them more than others?

Flower color, shape, scent, and even height brings pollinators to the plants and flowers they love most.

Today's photo in celebration of National Pollinators Month is the wonderful hover fly!

Hover flies are valuable natural controls and undoubtedly contribute to population regulation of aphids. Conservation biological control efforts have in some cases focused on providing nectar-producing plants (such as alyssum) preferred by hover flies to enhance their populations in adjacent crop fields.

Adults (flies) feed on nectar in flowers, while the larvae (maggots) are voracious predators of aphids. Adults often mimic the color patterns of wasps and bees (compare to look-a-likes), presumably to gain protection from their own predators. However, unlike wasps and bees, these flies are incapable of stinging and are totally harmless.

Today's photo is a bee on butterfly w**d. Butterfly w**d is known as a host plant to Monarch butterflies. Insects like the milkw**d tussock moth and milkw**d beetles are also drawn to this lovely plant but as you can see, bees are also attracted to its unique flowers.

Remember to join us this Saturday for Celebrate Pollinators Day from 9-12pm.
