"We often view #mosquitoes as bloodsuckers that do nothing but make our lives miserable. However, mosquitoes do have ecological functions. From #pollination to ant puke, the secret life of mosquitoes is both bizarre and ecologically important." https://t.co/OhJEFdGjLF

Snapped this pic today in the Native Plant & Veggie Gardens in #HilsonOutdoorClassroom. It's a Black SwallowTail Caterpillar. Great to see these little guys in our outdoor classroom - perfect timing for students to see them next week when back to school. @HilsonAvenuePS @OCDSB

Most of Cda's ground nesting bees not considered when pesticides assessed pre-registration. This study could change that - Clothianidin detected in 96% of soil samples & another major neonic — thiamethoxam — found in 81% of soil samples tested. Time to act #PMRA

Trump just said the Green New Deal will "kill millions of jobs, crush the dreams of the poorest americans, and disproportionately harm minority communities." I wonder what he thinks climate change will do

Conservation scheme brings back wildflowers - with @nationaltrust creating 40 acres of wildflower meadows in Wales in the last year. C'mon councils, community groups, charities, businesses across the UK: let's have many more positive initiatives like this!

Since 1930, 97% of Wales's wildflower meadows have been lost due to more intensive farming.

#BringBackthePollinators is based on the fact that pollinators need only a few things: flowers for nectar & pollen, a place to lay eggs or build a nest, and freedom from pesticides. Celebrate #PollinatorWeek with these tips: https://t.co/rRqskT1cLM! (📸: Xerces Society/S. Morris)

This #PollinatorWeek, we're highlighting lesser-known pollinators like #wasps! Although many wasps hunt, most are in fact omnivorous, also consuming (and spreading) pollen, and sipping nectar. Some plants, like #figs, rely on wasp #pollination! https://t.co/GgckGlUmpE
