Still obsessed with the cutest nesting strategy going. The Eastern Snail Shell Mason Bee (Osmia conjuncta) is a small North American blue bee which makes nests in suitable empty snail shells! In my linocut I show this adorable little pollinator with a Cepaea shell. Each print is 8” by 8” on delicate Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

Asclepias viridis (also called Green Milkweed or Spider Milkweed) was being pollinated by a Bombus fraternus in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on May 4, 2025
Bombus fraternus is an endangered species https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombus_fraternus
Some of the camera settings I used to make this photo are at: https://www.rsok.com/~jrm/2025May06_birds_and_cats/2025may04_bombus_IMG_3500c.html

Sharp-tailed Bees don't have pollen collecting hairs. Don't need them because they lay their eggs in other bee's nests. (This is called being "cleptoparasitic".)
There have to be enough of their specific prey bees to keep their population going. But insect populations have been dropping for decades, so Sharp-tailed Bees can be very hard to find.
Needless to say, I was thrilled to see one in my garden on a cloudy day.

Bumblebee working a California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) in the garden. #nikon #Z9 #bee #bumblebee #pollinator #garden #poppy.
diese Schottische Erdbiene Andrena scotica saß gestern, als es so kalt war, auf dem blatt, bewegte sich sehr langsam und wartete offensichtlich auf wärmere zeiten oder gar einen sonnenstrahl. letzteres wohl vergeblich :-/

Bumblebee departs a California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) in the garden. Note the large pollen sack or pants and the light dusting of pollen on its body #nikon #Z9 #bee #bumblebee #pollinator #garden #poppy.
Nine #moths in or near the moth box last night, so still numerically low, but some fabulous diversity among them

2) Swallow Prominent (top right)
3) Chinese Character (bottom left) - mimics a bird dropping
4) Sharp-angled Peacock (bottom right)

For one of my #gardening projects this #spring I decided to go all in on turning our little front #garden space into a better #pollinator habitat, sowing & planting lots of #Texas natives. Success so far with many of them now coming into #bloom. Along with that the #butterfly activity is picking up. Yesterday we had a visit from this female Eastern Black Swallowtail, she was preferentially partaking in the particularly plentiful #cosmos.
Well, would you give it credence?!
Just as I was putting the moth box away, I spotted this little critter gripping a table leg. A Mullein Moth and the first sighting in 2025. One of the 'wood mimics', resembling a bark chipping or dead plant stem to avoid detection. Generally flies April to June.

Another detail of my pollinator garden piece made of collaged prints, for Manufactured Ecosystems. This shot shows my tiny sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens (Toronto’s official bee). I took a little liberty with scale so I could actually get some details and yet show the bee in context of the flowers (purple coneflowers, Canada goldenrod, 1/2
