“Insects pollinate 87.5 percent of all plants, and “Insects pollinate 87.5 percent of all plants, and 90 percent of all flowering plants.. Insects are also the primary means by which the food created by plants is delivered to animals… Insects, then, sustain the earth’s ecosystems” - Douglas W. Tallamy, Natures Best Hope🐝 When you picture a pollinator, what do you see? Perhaps you’re picturing a honey bee or maybe a monarch butterfly. In the United States there are over 35,000 pollinators including an array of bees, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, and even the occasional, accidental pollinator crab spider. 🕷️🪰🪲 This week is National Pollinator Week! Celebrate by getting outdoors and witnessing the magic of pollination for yourself. Don’t forget to thank our tiny heroes for all they do for us and while you’re at it, consider planting the native plants that support them best 🌻 #nationalpollinatorweek #deeprootskc #nativeplants #whatyouplantmatters
