Photos courtesy of WWF’s claybolt | Passing through billowing grasses on the 33 Ranch in Belvidere, SD, I noticed a patch of the lemon-yellow flowers of the plains prickly pear cactus (Opuntia polyacantha) in peak bloom up ahead. I knew from experience that bees find the cactus’s flowers irresistible. Prickly pear flowers produce very large, heavy pollen granules, which are best collected by large bees—the fuzzier the better. Most bees have specialized, feathery hairs over their entire body that trap pollen. These help to create an electrostatic charge that attracts pollen granules to a bee’s body when it lands on a flower. However, prickly pear flowers have another amazing trick up their sleeve when it comes to pollination. When brushed against by a large insect, their stamens—the structures that hold pollen—move rapidly toward the center of the flower, increasing the chances of successful pollination.

When Wally's family moved, they left him behind. When a new family moved in, they were very surprised to find sweet Wally. Now at our Sanctuary, Wally enjoys walks, basking in the sun and hanging out with his friends. #adopt him today: https://t.co/Tg1ap2zVHD ^AT #NationalPigDay https://t.co/tNGuzsfDL9
