Its pollinators and other insect visitors have not been investigated. During 2018 and 2019, insect visitors were photographed at a native population and three gardens in and near the Huachuca Mountains, Southeastern Arizona. A total of 216 site visits produced at least 369 species of insects in seven orders. Images revealed 140 potential pollinators with a preponderance of Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, and Diptera. Orders of insects are discussed, as are flowering phenology, potential pollinators in functional groups, introduced insects, and the value of <em>A. angustifolia</em> for monarch butterflies and other insects in pollinator gardens and in planting palettes created for restoration sites.</p><p> </p><p>NOTE: Supplementary files can be found in the left menu.</p><div id="ConnectiveDocSignExtentionInstalled" data-extension-version="1.0.4"> </div>}, journal={Journal of Pollination Ecology}, author={Behrstock, Robert Aaron}, year={2021}, month={Feb.} }
