Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators enjoying the abundant dandelions at @RSPBHopeFarm earlier this week when the sun briefly shone here in Cambridgeshire @wildflowerhour @BSBIbotany #DandelionChallenge
#InternationalDayOfTheDandelion & we are celebrating it with this week’s #WildflowerHour challenge! For the #DandelionChallenge we hired the 'No Mow Police'. As it is so important to let the #Dandelions flower and set seed. The insects and birds thank you all.
Beautiful colour of the humble dandelion. How poor the world would be without them! #wildflowerhour #dandelionchallenge #InternationalDayoftheDandelion

City Nature Challenge 2024 Friday 26/04/2024 – Monday 29/04/2024 almondvalleynatureaction.blog/2024/04/21/cit… via @AVNatureAction
Seen on the Shale Trail in West Lothian yesterday, the dandelions are providing so much for our wildlife right now. Please let them grow in your garden! Pictured here - small tortoiseshell butterfly, a common carder bumblebee and a red-tailed bumblebee. #loveaninvertebrate
Walking in the sunshine yesterday and indulging in some invertebrate watching - here is the bee mimic Bombylius major feeding on lesser celandine! This furry little fly is parasitic on solitary bees as a larvae - no judging now! #weirdandwonderful #naturewalks #gooutside
Sometimes the best thing you can do for wildlife is nothing 🌿🌼 Our new research has revealed that having long grass in your garden can increase butterfly numbers by up to 93%! See our tips for letting your space grow a bit wild 👉 wild-spaces.co.uk/idea/let-it-gr… #WildSpaces
Join us at the Nell Burn (Eliburn) this Saturday! Our Marsh Marigold is looking lush, ready to be planted. We'll be delivering some nature recovery works to help improve the local area. 👉Email Elijah on [email protected] to find out details + get involved.

The next Edinburgh Entomological Club talk will be at 5pm on Wednesday 17/4/24. Anthony McCluskey @anthonymcc85 from Butterfly Conservation Scotland will be presenting a talk on “Solitary bees: where to start?”. Please email [email protected] to join via Zoom
The first forget-me-nots. Here’s an interesting fact I recently learnt: the yellow ring in the centre of each flower fades to white after pollination, which lets insects know there is no more nectar, so the insects in turn learn to visit flowers that have not yet been pollinated!

Dandelions are a fantastic source of nectar and pollen for Scotland's pollinators. Leave some dandelions to flower, and bumblebees, hoverflies, butterflies, solitary bees and beetles will all benefit. Hang on to dandelions, and congratulate yourself on helping our pollinators.
We have successfully cleared lots from our local community and school grounds these past few days. Look at how much we have collected and disposed of 👏. #springclean @KSBScotland @Hilltop_PC
For the #InternationalDayoftheDandelion let’s hear it for the humble dandelion, so beautiful and just so full of life! Leave a few in your garden & wildlife will love you for it 💛 #wildflowerhour #DandelionChallenge
Cuckoo flower, cowslip, primrose and toothwort for #wildflowerhour
A rather eclectic #wildflowerhour mix from urban Newcastle this week 📸 Cuckooflower, Meadow Saxifrage, Fringecups, Greater Stitchwort, Bluebell, Garden Yellow Archangel, Salmonberry, Green Alkanet & Pink Purslane.
Dandelions are so important for our spring pollinators. I found this lovely patch today and watched a couple of bees, absolutely covered in pollen, enjoying a few minutes out of the cold wind. #InternationalDayoftheDandelion #wildflowerhour @BSBIbotany @DandelionAppre1 #nature
It is so special to see the beautiful pasque flowers and orchids at the unique Barnack Hills and Holes nature reserve. Masses of cowslips there too and amongst the ridge and furrows @wildlifebcn Southorpe Meadow. Lovely! @wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany
We don't need much persuading to celebrate the humble Dandelion for #wildflowerhour @BioDataCentre records show this native wildflower was the most popular food source for bees on the island of Ireland in 2023 #DandelionChallenge #InternationalDayoftheDandelion 📷Cathal Noonan
