</span></b><span lang="EN" style="">Each year, P2, along with a wide range of partners (including
federal agencies, non-profits, for-profits, individuals, etc.) design and
distribute an educational pollinator poster.
About 100,000 posters are distributed throughout the United States each
year. They are one of the most popular outreach material items offered and are
distributed for the cost of shipping and handling.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0in;line-height:115%"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span lang="EN" style="">This year’s poster will focus on the order of Lepidoptera (butterflies and
moths), and the essential role they play in pollination, culture, and ecosystem
services throughout North America. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0in;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN" style=""><font face="arial, sans-serif">Butterflies and moths are found in almost
every terrestrial ecosystem from deserts to tropical rainforests, and thousands
of flowering plants have evolved to rely specifically on their pollination
services, although not all species in Lepidoptera are considered pollinators. Certain
plants like Indian paintbrush have evolved to attract butterflies through their
brightly colored flowers that open during the day, while others, like Yucca,
put out especially fragrant and pale-colored flowers to attract moths that
pollinate at night. Most butterflies are diurnal (day-active), and so moths are
vitally important for the role they play in pollination at night. They
also provide pollination to certain flowering plants like honeysuckle that are
not visited by bees and other pollinators during the day. </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0in;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN" style=""><font face="arial, sans-serif">Although the monarch butterfly is certainly
one of the most recognizable species of Lepidoptera and provides
conservationists a familiar species with which to garner public support for
protection efforts, we hope to broaden the public’s understanding of the
tremendous diversity of the order by displaying multiple pollinating moths and
butterflies on this year’s poster. <b>Species
selected should be true pollinators and native to North America</b>. Some possible
ideas for the poster include:</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0in;line-height:115%"></p><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Depict diverse moth and butterfly species,
some commonly found and others rare, native
to North America focusing on distribution across the US, Mexico, and
Canada.</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Represent the pollination services during the
day and at night, highlighting the constant role that lepidoptera play in
supporting almost every North American terrestrial ecosystem</span></li><li><span lang="EN" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Display the specialized role that lepidoptera
play in the pollination of specific species, for example the yucca plant (<i><span style="color:black;background:rgb(252,252,252)">Hesperoyucca whipplei) </span></i><span style="color:black;background:rgb(252,252,252)">and the yucca moth (</span></span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><a href="http://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/lepidopt/Incurvariidae/Tegeticula%20maculata.htm"><i><span style="color:black;background:rgb(252,252,252);text-decoration-line:none">Tegeticula
maculata</span></i></a></span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">) or the snowberry moth (<i><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">Hemaris diffinis</span></i><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">) and the snowberry bush (<i>Symphoricarpos</i>)</span></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Highlight the diversity of lepidoptera by
depicting differences in size, shape, and color within the order</span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Show the differences in how butterflies and
moths pollinate (butterflies must land on flowers while moths remain airborne),
and how plants have evolved to accommodate pollination strategies</span></li></ul><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt 0in;line-height:115%"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span lang="EN" style="">Let this proposed vision spark creativity and do
not feel limited to these ideas. Do not try to incorporate all of the suggested
ideas – portraying one or two elements well is more effective. The poster is a visual story meant to attract
attention and inspire awe and understanding of pollinating Lepidoptera. The most important part of creating any
poster is to make it a beautiful work of art. A scientific/naturalistic style
is preferred. P2 staff will work with the artist on scientific accuracy and
detail.
