alice...i check out the reference on the flower but the leaves are different though.
Thanks for the reminder...I know what you mean, one can get carried away...I done it before...fallen off I mean.
Have fun at the butterfly house. Take it from me...do not move your feet unless you look where you are stepping. I followed a bird through my lens and fell off the sidewalk. Thankfully not into traffic. :-P
Heather, thanks so much....you are of great help...I am so new to this. I did feature this bee as a pollinator but I guess I can add more. I will check it out.
Susan, I just learned this by accident. This site needs a FAQ page for some of this. I emailed the site about a FAQ. So to enter your picture in more than one mission, click the main mission - like Pollinators, then scroll down to the other one you want to log the picture for - like Best Wildlife. You have to be signed up for the Missions. To sign up for missions, Look up top on your home page in the brown bar above the Project Noah logo --> Home/Organisms/Map/Missions --> Click on Missions. From there you get Featured/Local/Global. I clicked on all three to see what was out there. I'm entering things via the web interface. For the mobile app, if you have something in the cell phone as GPS enabled, it will I think, give you the available Missions for your new location, too. Hope that helps.
Heather...where do I sign up? I still do not think I have the best bee yet...I did not capture the eye of the bee distinctly..when that happens, I will enter. BTW tomorrow I am going to the butterfly garden in houston to do some shooting, will update with some new shots of butterflies.
some kind of honey suckle...do not know name, I will include a spot for the flower , maybe you can help http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6365289
this is not a honey bee, it could be an Antophorid bee
