June may be the perfect month for making pollinator observations. It's begun to warm up but it's not too hot yet, and you may already be out camping, hiking, paddling, or engaging in other activities that lend themselves to snapping quick photos of insects you encounter. Already we've gotten some great observations of bees, hover flies, flower longhorn beetles, and sphinx and flower moths from this year and previous years, which will be so valuable for our assessments of how these key native species are doing in New York. Thanks to everyone who's been submitting--keep 'em coming!
