Invertebrates are important to me because...

I appreciate the many services invertebrates provide, from the well-known pollination of crops and flowers to the more obscure roles in breaking down detritus, nutrient cycling, and enriching soil quality. I also happen to think that a lot of them just look cool (more so the ones with legs rather than those without). My photo catalog is full of bees, butterflies, beetles, and bugs. For every $100 raised in this fundraiser, I will draw of name from all who participated to send an 8 x 10 print from my pollinator photo collection.
