It is 9 April, and Charlie has created a great link for the pollinator citizen science project. We are focused on Regal Fritillary, Monarch, and Bumble Bees, but hope people will upload photos of any pollinators. In order to maximize observations, we ask you too look at our link, and download the data form for simple pollinator observations here
https://www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/es/southdakota/Citizen_Science.php
You can send in completed forms, or you can make sure all the fields are filled out on Inaturalist. There is one caveat, we would like exact locations, but only on paper. Please obscure the exact location in Inaturalist for your back yard, or for rare and sensitive species.
Spring is here, and soon there will be a lot of bumble bees and butterflies in the great outdoors. Get out and enjoy them (at safe socially acceptable distances from each other).
