Expert panel @WildThingsChi: Bombus affinis used to be abundant but now on endangered list. Still some local populations & urban areas can be places of refuge for them. Learn to identify them to protect them. #WildThings19 pic.twitter.com/faXNGkye4o

We had a great time at #WildThings19! We learned about #warriorsedges, bees, butterflies, the folks living along the Little Calumet in the 15th century, and more - plus our #BioBlitz poster looked pretty fresh. 😉 So cool to be part of this wonderful collaborative community! pic.twitter.com/j18gvEb5dd

Fully inspired by yesterday's #WildThings19 #WildThingChi. I am planning to paint more monarch this year. Saving one species doesn't mean just one species, as you know. #savingmonarch pic.twitter.com/afihXeGLJf
