Every day, the world savours more than 2 billion cups of coffee. Yet this daily ritual relies on a hidden workforce: pollinators. Bees, butterflies and countless others ensure that coffee blossoms fulfil their potential.

[Para la afición abejera]

La mayoría de Xylocopa negros que vemos son X. violacea, pero hay que estar atentos por si se nos cuela algún X. valga. A veces con fotos se pueden detectar. Aquí tenéis uno de hoy en Lavandula latifolia. Antena 11 piezas (macho) y longitud 1=2+3 (violacea sería 1=2+3+4)

🦋 This week, we're spotlighting the final Living Lab in the #ButterflyEUProject : Milano.
In & around Milan, pollinators face pressures from urban sprawl, pesticides & habitat loss in both recreational & agricultural zones. Awareness is also critically low.
