Butterfly Pollinates Flower: Photo Of The Day
Honey bees are vaunted for their role as pollinators, but butterflies and other insects are also important pollinators.
SACRAMENTO, CA — This butterfly was busy midday Thursday looking for a snack in a Sacramento neighborhood. The favorite food of butterflies is flower nectar. Pollen sticks to their bodies as they crawl around flowers, with butterflies spreading pollen from flower to flower as they feed. Thank you for sharing your photo, Claus Weisemann!
If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.
We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
