Pollinators Buzzing in the Butterfly Garden!
Literally buzzing!
Just some pretty photos of bees, wasps, butterflies... and... the common housefly pollinating in the butterfly garden. The common housefly? Yes! They eat pollen too! That was news to me until I shot some photos and there it was, instead of a bee. Okay, at least two of the photos are not really what I'd call "pretty," but the insects are fulfilling an important role.
