POLLINATOR BIOBLITZ: Get ready to help Mother Nature’s 
hardest working critters by getting blitzed…it’s not 
what you think….ahead on Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas (October 2)

Love bugs? Then participate in the Pollinator BioBlitz, 
October 5 – 21.
 
06— [We have] two goals in mind: to increase awareness about 
pollinators, and about the habitat that they require.

Johnnie Smith is with TPW. Pollinators include bees, 
butterflies, beetles, moths and other critters that move 
pollen while foraging.

24—If you participate in the pollinator bio-blitz, you’re going to have 
an opportunity to observe pollinators at a site that you visit, like 
your local zoo or aquarium or nature center. And observe the 
pollinators that are there. Grab a picture of the pollinators you find, 
and you can post them onto Instagram. We’re asking all of the 
participants to use the hashtag #savethepollinators.

Post findings, on iNaturalist.org. Texas Parks and 
Wildlife’s website, has pages dedicated to the Pollinator 
Bioblitz.

21— Where people can learn what pollinators might be in their area. 
Links to what might be blooming in your area right now—that’s 
hosted out of the Wildflower center—and then also, to be aware of 
habitat you have that supports pollinators. And if you don’t have 
habitat in or near your home, school library… We’re encouraging 
people to try and get organized in planting pollinator habitat.

The Pollinator BioBlitz is October 5 through 21. 

The WR program supports our series.
