I've decided to create a gallery specifically for pictures of insects that are known to pollinate flowering plants while they are actually in the act of visiting flowers. The gallery will include the obvious suspects...bees, wasps, butterflies, moths. I'm sure there will be other types of insects as time goes by and I personally learn more about such helpful creatures. Pictures of these same insects doing other things, or doing nothing, will still go in the 'Invertebrates' gallery for now. In cases where I was able to get several pictures of the same 'visitation', I'll try to put the one(s) that best show the insect for purposes of identification or for illustrating behavior here, while ones that are better for showing the flowers will get routed to appropriate vegetation galleries.

Be patient while I collect older pictures that fit this gallery. For now, the gallery is sorted in reverse order of date taken. I'm not great at specific insect identifications. Any help you care to offer will be gratefully accepted by me.
