Pale Agroseris, also known as False Dandelion, is a cute little plant on which I could find little to no information regarding faunal associations. However, I like to include it especially because Pale Agroseris is considered threatened in Michigan, so while you may not be preserving the plant that was once here, you are creating habitat for all of the species that may need it for survival (mnfi.anr.msu.edu). Because it blooms relatively early and has pollen and nectar, I am going to assume that pollinators visit it, but I will have to keep an eye out and report back.
