"Native Pollinators of Texas" Handout for Festival of Flowers 2025

Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, and Lepidoptera are all insect orders with pollinators.  Do you have a better appreciation for beetles or flies after attending the presentation?       https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uAmJrufSb9SDnfV5rSCfPf3gx3Gf-Fue/view?usp=sharing   Recommended references : Caterpillars in the Field and Garden by Allen, Brock & Glassberg Common Insects of Texas by Abbott & Abbott Bees, Wasps, and Ants (the Indispensable Role of Hymenoptera in Gardens) by Grissell The Bees in Your Backyard by Wilson & Carril Wasps (a Guide for Eastern North America) by Heather Holm     Please note: All information presented is not reflected in the PDF because I really dislike it when the speaker (in this case, me) simply reads the slides.
