@maxwellidae Agreed Max. This kind of thinking is ridiculous...

Check out this bee mimic, Eristalis flavipes, and the bee it mimics (at least one of them)! The fly is on the left and the bee, Bombus insularis (a cuckoo bumble bee), is on the right.

One of my favorite #NativePlants of #Colorado!

[ColoNativePlantSoc @ColoradoNPS]

#GrowNative: Graceful, arching, delicate #ColoradoNativePlant Linum lewisii, blue flax. This reseeding perennial sometimes moves around the #garden but always seems to behave. The ethereal blue blooms grace our landscapes from spring through summer. Image by Jim Pisarowicz.

I once read a story about 'How the Magpie got it's long tail.' I cannot find it anywhere!
Does anyone know it? I'm putting together a list of plants and animals that have cool stories like that.
Any help is appreciated!

I absolutely loved giving a presentation on #NativeBees in an outdoor amphitheater. #LathropStatePark has such a wonderful setup for #education.
The weather was wonderful for it too!

Celebrate #WorldBeeDay today! So many types of bees to love like the #MasonBees, #DiggerBees, #SweatBees, #LonghornBees, #BumbleBees and many more.
Celebrating #Bees is to celebrate #Diversity!

@PaigeAEmbry It was a pleasure to meet and listen to Paige at her event and the #DenverMuseumOfNatureAndScience.
Thank you Paige for your efforts raising awareness of our #NativeBees.

Wild bees and other insects are disappearing in the U.K. https://t.co/iUizynlMl0

Freshwater mussels are experiencing a dramatic decline; 72% percent of North American freshwater mussels are considered extinct or imperiled, representing one of the most at-risk groups of animals in the United States. https://t.co/Z22D4gbXwD (📸: Marie Fernandez)

Did you know you can identify the wood-boring beetle family using the tip of a ballpoint pen? Stick the pen in the exit hole & see how deep it goes. Smallest holes belong to Lyctid (true powderpost) beetles & largest is old house borer. Use acronym LABO to remember #UPMC2019

[Ryan Bartlett @CoNaturalist]

@ISArachnology Have fun! So sad to miss it this year. I can't wait to hear all about it.

#WorldWetlandsDay This fencing didn't stop a beaver from toppling a large cottonwood.
All creatures need habitat!
