Stickers can be a fun and affordable way to promote your pollinator conservation work to audiences of all ages. So, when the very talented artist Fruitblush offered to do a free commission to support Xerces Society’s invertebrate conservation work, we thought native pollinator stickers would be helpful outreach tool for our Bee City and Bee Campus (BCUSA) affiliates. These are designed to allow you to:
- Print at home on Avery 94124 sticker sheets (available at most office suppliers), or
- Print professionally on sheets or on rolls (one design per roll).
Below are stickers featuring six wonderful pollinator illustrations for you share far and wide.
A warm thank you to Fruitblush for their generous support of BCUSA and the Xerces Society. Read a bit about Fruitblush and view a collection of some of their artwork at the bottom of this page.

About the Artist: Fruitblush
My favorite pollinator: The black and white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata variegata), as it is the world’s largest pollinator, and lemurs as a whole are such strange and unique primates.
My favorite insect pollinator: The snowberry clearwing (Hemaris diffinis) because it sounds and looks like a fantasy animal (and is very cute).
Artist Statement
I am an illustrator interested in the connections between humans, animals, and the cycles of life and death. My work is influenced by folk traditions, heraldic imagery, and the raw marks of ancient parietal art, and I use these references to explore themes of resilience, fragility, and transformation. Animals often appear as central figures, symbolic of both the beauty of life and the beauty of death.
The idea of cycles runs strongly through my practice. I see life not as a straight line but as a turning, where death is not the end. Those who die are folded back into the earth, becoming part of the soil, water, and growth that allow life to continue. I try to hold both mourning and renewal in the same space, reflecting on grief for what has been lost while also recognizing the persistence and resilience of the living.
Extinction is an unavoidable reality in my work, but so too is the possibility of survival. I want my art to reflect this tension, to acknowledge absence and loss while also celebrating the ways nature endures and transforms. For me, drawing animals and natural forms is a way of thinking about our responsibility, our world, and the hope that something can always take root again
Looking ahead, I hope to continue collaborating with conservation organizations to support endangered animals and ecosystems. I see art not only as expression, but as a form of advocacy that can make visible the species and landscapes we stand to lose. Through my illustrations, I want to honor the cycles of the natural world and remind myself, and others, that even in the face of loss, life continues to find a way forward.
