<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I think studying which pollinators visit which plants, native or exotic (including garden plants or weeds), from one region to the next is quite interesting. Exotic plants offer the opportunity
to test the theory of pollination syndromes, or to find where they are inaccurate.<br>
<br>
In lieu of the recent discussion of taking photos of pollinators while foraging, I sat and observed an old plum tree in my yard for a short duration (half hour, I think). At least 12 different species were seen, most photographed and identified (see link below),
including native bees, flies, beetles, and a single yellowjacket. Time of day makes a big difference, and I'd expect a morning observation to produce a different mix of pollinators (anthophorine bees in my area are most active in the late morning, for example).
Here's the link:<br>

to the NAPPC site specializing in North American plant and animal species?
