An evening snow (Linanthus dichotomus) flower at McLaughlin Natural Reserve dusted with orange fluorescent powder glows under black light. Students used the powder as a surrogate for pollen, allowing them to track the movement of diurnal and nocturnal insects among flowers. The pictured flower received at least one visit over the previous 12 hours. Image: Gabrielle Camba
