Pollinators

Pollinators consist of butterflies, bees, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, birds, and some small mammals.

When these species visit a flower to drink their nectar or feed off the plant, pollen grains attach to their bodies. As they move from plant to plant, they transport and leave behind some of the pollen they carried with them on their wings or legs.

This allows for pollination, which is the first step in the reproduction process of plants that produces fruits, seeds, and the next generation of plants. Without pollinators facilitating the movement of pollen from plant to plant, pollination would be much more difficult or, or impossible.

In order to see these pollinators in action, there needs to be plenty of their source plant available to them for feeding and shelter for their larva.
