Sorry, the title and text weren't clear. I garden for the pollinators. Them bugs make me happy

Butterflies and bees are great, but I love seeing all the other pollenators that I rarely recognize. Native bees, beetles, and even some tiny (non stinging) wasps. I especially love that no matter what part of nature you're most interested in attracting/observing, native plants are almost always a good place to start.

Micromoths are my favorite. I studied them for a bit, and the variety in those teensy tiny little things is just amazing

I love micromoths too. we've got a micromoth called Zealandopterix zonodoxa its so cute and even has little mandibles that it can eat with. I love them so much.

Meanwhile, my coreopsis have barely emerged from the soil... Sigh.

This is their second year, if that matters to you. Last year they were wimpy little bunches with like four flowers each

@sneekee_snek_17 #Accessibility is a virtue on Mastodon. There are quite a few #blind or visually impaired people who use this medium with their screen readers for precisely this reason. There are also quite a few users who neither favor nor boost posts with media without #alttext text.
