Most information on pollinators below comes from the [url=http://www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/pollinators/animals/]US Department of Agricultural Forest Service[/url], and as such some blurbs may be US-centric. Information on flower color meanings comes from [url=https://www.bloomnation.com/blog/the-meaning-behind-flower-colors/]BloomNation.com.[/url]
[quote="Aves"][size=5][b]Birds[/b][/size]
[b]Birds[/b] are very important pollinators of wildflowers throughout the world. In the continental United States, [b]hummingbirds[/b] are key in wildflower pollination. In other areas, [b]honeycreepers[/b] (Hawaii) and [b]honeyeaters[/b] (Australia) are important pollinators. In addition, [b]brush-tongued parrots[/b] (New Guinea) and [b]sunbirds[/b] (Old World tropics) serve as tropical pollen vectors. There are 2,000 bird species globally that feed on nectar, the insects, and the spiders associated with nectar bearing flowers.

[b]Q: Why are you taking dragons for Freerice/Zooniverse raffle tickets? You've never done that before.[/b]
A: Since donations aren't allowed for tickets any more, we wanted more ways for people to enter the raffle. We're also hoping that this may encourage future raffle-runners, especially for holiday raffles, to incorporate charity-related ways of getting tickets. Note that while dragons sent in will be exalted, proceeds from the exalting will go to fund future charity raffles, not Nature dominance initiatives.

[quote="Hymenoptera"][size=5][b]Bees and Wasps[/b][/size]
In the United States, there are over 4,000 species of native [b]bees[/b]. Familiar bees visiting garden flowers are the colorful, fuzzy, yellow-and-black striped bumblebees, metallic-green sweat bees, squash bees, and imported honeybee. These flower-seeking pollen magnets purposefully visit flowers to collect pollen and nectar for food for themselves and their young.
[b]Wasps[/b] are very important pollinators. Most familiar wasps belong to a group called the Aculeata. The word "Aculeata" refers to the defining feature of the group, the modification of their ovipositors into stingers, however not all members of Aculeata sting. In some members, the ovipositor is modified for a different function, such as laying eggs, or was entirely lost. This group is largely predatory or parasitic.

[quote="Lepidoptera"][size=5][b]Moths and Butterflies[/b][/size]
[b]Butterflies[/b] are very active during the day and visit a variety of wildflowers. Butterflies probe for nectar, their flight fuel, and typically favor the flat, clustered flowers that provide a landing pad and abundant rewards. Butterflies have good vision but a weak sense of smell. Unlike bees, butterflies can see red. After dark, [b]moths[/b] and bats take over the night shift for pollination. Nocturnal flowers with pale or white flowers heavy with fragrance and copious dilute nectar, attract these pollinating insects. Not all moth pollinators are nocturnal; some moths are also active by day. Some moths hover above the flowers they visit while others land.

[b]Coleoptera[/b] (beetles) comprise the largest set of pollinating animals, due to sheer numbers. They are responsible for pollinating 88% of the 240,000 flowering plants globally. [b]Diptera[/b], the two-winged insects (flies, gnats, mosquitos) is a very large group. Many of them specifically visit flowers, such as the Syrphid flies or flower flies. They are not as hairy as bees and as efficient in carrying pollen, but some are good pollinators.

[b]Lizards, geckos,[/b] and [b]skinks[/b] can be pollinators! The Noronha skink found in Brazil drink the nectar found in the flowers of the leguminous mulungu tree. This tree blooms during the dry season, and the flowers secrete nectar throughout the day. The skinks climb inside the flower to drink the nectar. While foraging for nectar, parts of the skink’s body contact the anthers and stigmas and pollen adheres to their scales. As these [b]“little dragons”[/b] visit other flowers from the same tree and other trees it deposits pollen and becomes a potential pollinator.
