Our Pollinator of the Month for July is the soldier beetle! This helpful little insect is not the sort of bug that we usually picture when we imagine pollinators, but it's essential to Ohio ecosystems nonetheless. Soldier beetles are often found on yellow flowers, particularly goldenrod. The soldier beetle family, Cantharidae, contains thousands of species, with a few hundred of them being found throughout the United States.
