The climbing vine’s abundant late-summer and autumn blooms, typically rich in pollen and nectar, received the highest average number of insect visits out of 14 common and widespread flowers surveyed during ten-minute citizen-science counts across the UK. 📷: Sophie Hall

Ivy was followed by Hogweed, Bramble, Buddleja, Knapweeds and Thistle in overall insect popularity. The data comes from the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS), which has asked citizen scientists to record insect visits to flowers since 2017. 📷: Savannah Jones
