Saturday March 1, 2025 2:15pm - 3:00pm CST
Photo documentation and voice recordings were used to document flower visiting insects at 12 nature preserves in west-central Illinois from 2023-2024. Bipartite network graphs were created to determine connections between groups of insects and flowers visited. While bees made up the majority of visitations (40%) other taxa including beetles, flies and even true bugs also made up a large percentage of the total visitations. By analyzing all of the pollinator groups together it may be possible to determine the importance of bee versus non-bee insects on flower reproduction and maintaining vegetative communities.
