PolliNation ID

*This app is the sister app to PolliNation Hotels: it is used to submit pollinator sightings on participating insect hotels in the PolliNation Project at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. Non-participants can use the encyclopedia information to learn about native pollinators that use insect hotels but will be unable to submit data or use the app's identification features.*

Bees and other native pollinators around the globe are disappearing at a shocking rate; it is clear that we need to act right away! The PolliNation Project is a citizen science initiative sponsored by the University of Michigan-Dearborn to increase awareness of native pollinators and to better understand their plight. Become part of this initiative by using this app to identify and submit accounts of the native pollinators that you see in participating insect hotels. Here you’ll find all the tools that you need to identify common Michigan pollinators and other insects as well as learn more about their habits and habitats. You can also submit pictures of the pollinators that you find to help us learn more about the distributions of these important insects. To learn more about the PolliNation project, visit our website.
