Bugguide photo of a "Thief weevil" (Attelabidae: Pterocolus sp) by user Metrioptera. He is a jolly iridescent turquoise and sort of rectangular in shape, with an unusually wide stance.

Photo shows a sketchbook sitting open on a wooden desk easel. The sketchbook shows a painting created with gouache paint, an opaque watercolor medium. The painting depicts a nature scene of a pathway between large redwood trees on a sunny day with bright light shining through green leaves.

a fluffy light yellow bee popping out of a hole in the sand

Today out in the pine barrens I saw a bunch of cellophane bees!

I'm not sure if they were emerging for the first time today or just hanging in holes, I honestly don't know a ton about these bees. I saw around 20 of them sprinkled throughout the trails in little clusters of 5-10 burrows.

Scathophaga stercoraria or Yellow Dungfly. β€˜Yellow’ just doesn’t do it justice. It’s a glorious, fabulous gold and if it was a small mammal everyone would want one as a pet. They’re so fluffy!
