I’m extra excited about this one because I found someone to talk to me about pollinating moth research! Moths are seriously underappreciated (and understudied) as pollinators, so I’m glad I can bring you some learning fun about the pollination interactions between the senita moth and senita cactus that Dr. Holland studies! Learn more about the moth here: Pollinator Profile: Senita Moth. Learn more about his research at Dr. Holland’s website!
