"In an urban setting where there are fewer floral resources, especially early in the growing season, the nectar from #dandelions and other lawn weeds can be a crucial food source (for #pollinators)." Via @helzerprairie: https://t.co/wIFk5rJoW5

Our project officially runs Valentine's Day to Earth Day - but we've extended it for a bonus week. We'll announce the winner on May 1st. Please keep an eye out and let us know if you see a monarch #monarchmystery
Our tenth prize winner is @phylogenomics from Davis CA! Here's his photo. We announced earlier this week that we are extending our challenge for another week. You have one more week to help submit valuable data that will help monarchs thrive. Keep an eye out and spread the word!

Earth week tip #4: Avoid captive rearing monarch butterflies. Captive rearing monarchs can enhance the risk of parasite transmission, it can dilute genetic diversity, and studies have shown that captive reared monarchs have lower migration success. https://t.co/4VMpgala1O

Instead of rearing—which is risky and unproven in helping monarchs—we should focus on more effective, science-backed ways to conserve these glorious wild animals.

This evening begins #YomHaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. My son made this video in memory of Manny Taiblum, a survivor he met several years ago who has now passed on. #RememberingFromHome Remember. Remember. Remember

“Small plantings may seem insignificant to you, but if each yard devotes a small area to #pollinators, your neighborhood will serve as a season-long buffet of nectar and pollen that supports a diversity of #bees, #butterflies, and other flower visitors." https://t.co/N3GecA8i3S

Our ninth prize winner is danielgeorge from https://t.co/sbKxUiADYv! This sighting is the most easterly report we've received, near @PinnaclesNPS! Take a look at how battered those wings are. This monarch has probably been traveling around for quite some time.

My favorite bee!
All winter long, Colletes inaequalis wait as adults underground. Today, they emerged in Massachusetts and got right to work over two weeks earlier than last year! Felt good to just sit and watch #adorable bees do their thing #colleteslove #pollinators

Here’s a pick me up during these strange and challenging times from @inkdwell “We created this monument as a way to create urban monuments to the natural world, but our hope is that these works can also inspire real world action. Mural location: 943 Howard St, San Fransisco “
