Happy #NationalMothWeek ! Moths are super important pollinators & need protection. Give them a hand by reducing unnecessary lighting at night, avoiding pesticides, & growing a variety of native plants that bloom throughout the growing season. #BeeCityUSA #BeeCampusUSA

Firefly populations have been declining and this post from the good people @Garden4Wildlife provides tips on how you can help!

[Garden for Wildlife @Garden4Wildlife]

Known by many names, including lightning bugs and candle flies, fireflies are neither bugs nor flies but beetles.

💥Are you supporting nature’s own firework? A quintessential part of summer evenings, it’s easy to invite them to your garden. https://t.co/BV54SLqoWY

So exciting to hear Ethan Kauffman from Natural Lands talk about native gardening at Stoneleigh: a natural garden (Villanova, PA) on Margaret Roach's podcast!

Our followers have spoken: insects are definitely wildlife. 🐞

But some states exclude insects in their legal definition of wildlife, limiting state wildlife agencies' ability to protect and manage them. 🤔https://t.co/HQo3KKvjCy

Happy #BatAppreciationDay! Most nectar bats are solitary eaters with wide ranges for foraging. Individuals may fly tens of kilometers from their day roosts to feeding areas each night, transferring pollen on the fur of their faces and shoulders for long distances between plants!

Honey Drop Cherry Tomatoes and Genovese Basil starting to grow in the greenhouse. Hot Peppers aren’t doing much yet. Will be planting more seeds soon!

Today, Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley introduced the MONARCH Act to the U.S. Senate. This bill invests in the conservation and recovery of western monarchs & other pollinators. Xerces contributed to this legislative effort & we hope to see it passed. 🧵(1/4)
