Description: English: A pale meadow beauty with stamens dangling in the breeze. I think this is Rhexia mariana as only R. mariana and R. nashii are listed by the IRC as being in Frenchman's Forest. R. nashii is supposed to have glandular hairs on the underside of the petals and these don't. But I'm pretty sure that I'm not sure. Date: 2 June 2012, 08:50.

Description: English: This little halictid bee is using sonication or "buzz pollination" to get pollen grains from a pale meadow beauty blossom. She grabs an anther and uses her flight muscles to rapidly vibrate the flower, dislodging the pollen grains. The process is very energetic and some of the errant pollen grains appear in the photo above as short meteoric trails in the bright sunlight. Meadow beauties are one of several types of flowers (including blueberries) that can only be pollinated via buzz pollination. Getting a sharply focused image of a buzz pollinating bee can be a challenge. Bumblebees also use buzz pollination. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzz_pollination. Date: 12 October 2013, 09:20.
