Pollinators of Impatiens capensis in southeastern Canada

Sampling of Impatiens capensis pollinators took place during summer of 2021 and 2022 in urban and natural sites around and in the cities of Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. We used entomological nets to sample insect visitors of Impatiens capensis that made a contact with the reproductive parts of the flower (therefore, they were considered as pollinators). Specimens were frozen, pinned on foam block, identified, measured and stored at the Ouellet Robert Entomological Collection.
