Datura and Pollinators 8/9/17

My little wildlife sanctuary is filled with fragrant datura blossoms that intoxicate the pollinators. The carpenter bees were especially active and there were honeybees, too. I expect that the hummingbird moths came out when the sun set. I was out at dusk with the bees as we checked each other out.
