June 20th, in just a few days, kicks off National Pollinator Week. To celebrate, Conservation Districts from around New Hampshire are entering a friendly competition to document each county's pollinators. Collectively, how many bees, wasps, beetles, hummingbirds, butterflies, moths, ants, sawflies, and flies can we find in the Granite State next week? 200, 300, or even 400 species?

I've taken the liberty of tagging some of NH's frequent iNaturalist contributors below, and please help spread to word to others!

Dust off your bug nets and moth lights - it's time for a statewide pollinator bioblitz!
