2016 Texas Pollinator BioBlitz
I'm collecting all my observations for the 2016 Texas Pollinators Bioblitz in this journal entry. Here's the project:

Saturday Oct 8
The first day I participated by spending a couple hours in a big patch of Maximilian Sunflowers on Lake Creek Trail in my northwest Austin neighborhood. I think my favorite pollinator was a White-striped Longtail butterfly that allowed me to get some pretty good shots. Here's one:
Hanging around for that long in the patch of sunflowers was rewarding. When I first arrived at around 9:45 AM it was cool enough that not many insects were active, and I got to experience them appearing and becoming widespread as the temperature warmed up. It was also nice to go out with a different purpose than usual. I was concentrating on finding pollinators. And I found a few interesting ones that I hope to get help identifying. Like this small bee, which does not appear to be a European Honeybee:
Hopefully I'll have time to find a few more pollinators tomorrow!

I'm pretty sure this is a bee, but I don't think it's a European Honeybee.
