I am fascinated by the biodiversity of the very small
. ⚫️

Perhaps a Zephyr Sweat Bee (Lasioglossum zephyrus)
–the tinier the bee, the more difficult (for me) to identify–
on a Whitestem Blazingstar (Mentzelia albicaulis). Consider the petals of this tiny wildflower are ≤7 millimeters.

Starting to bloom in my gardens this week: Meadow Blazingstar and Baby Joe Pye Weed. Both are favorites with butterflies, but if you want to attract Monarchs to your Milkweed, nothing beats Meadow Blazingstar (Liatris ligulistylus.) 🌱 #nativeplants

Blazingstar and a white sucker for #SundayFishSketch. The blazingstar was in our yard and the sucker was caught in Green Bay last week during wetland surveys. #GreatLakes
