## Caption

With less than a week 'til Valentine's Day, these arthropods are desperately working on their pickup lines. Why?
 

A new USC Dornsife study highlights the benefits of these crucial ecosystem contributors in urban areas. Our study will help folks make landscape choices that can welcome these insects, improving biodiversity and preserving city ecosystems. In short: These bugs are lovers, and they're seizing their moment.

Link in bio for the research.
