Super photos of the hummers and also the Monarch Dirt. We need one of these on the front page along with whatever that flower is. When i was new at ATP (about 6 months ago) i added a multi-plant photo that included Ruellia, Tithonia (Mexican Sunflower), and a beautiful and new Gulf Fritillary. The colors are so lovely together, but i didn't know how the GF would be accepted by the establishment so i made some comment about how i didn't know how the bfly got in there. As a newbie, i already had a feeling that there was some prejudice about showing pollenators on flowers. This feeling was confirmed when one of the moderators recently posted a comment that many people don't want to see bugs on the database flowers.
I think your thread here shows that many people do like to see pollenators on flowers, so this is a very good thing...not to mention the entertainment and educational value, of course :thumbsup:
I mean, really, if someone visits a plant on the database it will have maybe 10 beeless photos for every flower/bee photo (or whatever other pollenator...using bees here as an example). How can that be upsetting to someone? I think it enhances the database and also provides additional information.
