Face of a bee poking out of sandy nesting hole. Face and eyes are black, vertical strips of blond hair line the inner margins of the eyes.

Bee poking head out of sandy nest hole. Body is red with black markings, bee has red forelegs hooked over red antennae (apparently grooming herself).

Watching miner #bees, Andrena nida, nesting in a sandy creek bed. One entered her nest, followed a minute later by a red nomad bee. Nomad comes out first, then Andrena emerges. Was she able to prevent the nomad laying her eggs, or will they hatch and doom her offspring?

Another banger of a podcast with some wasp evolution and some body horror. Also helpful to hear how “proctotrupomorpha” is pronounced (just like it’s written, but reading it I never bothered to sound it out in my head.)

I hear you. And to end up with photos that are just silhouettes.

Like, the idiotic thing just pulled over on S Candler by Agnes Scott during evening rush hour and blocked the lane, when there is a parking lot right there that could be used to drop someone off.

Increasingly been seeing #ATL Waymos stopping to pick up or discharge passengers in spots where no human has ever dared.

Also, as a pedestrian on a tiny street where real drivers are always slow way down around people, Waymo didn’t slow down a bit. Even if it’s safe, didn’t make me feel safe-sucks!

Yellow flower on green plant against brown leaves and fallen camellia blossoms.

First native flower of the spring in my garden, celandine poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum). Thriving in the shade. Bought last year at Beech Hollow nursery @beechhollow.bsky.social. Not sure what sort of bees might be visiting it, will try to keep an eye on it. #nativeplants

Bumblebee upside-down on hanging blueberry flowers. Bee has yellow hairs on thorax and vertex, black on most of abdomen.

Smallish bee resembling a bumble bee with yellow hairs on thorax and first segment of abdomen, remainder black, longish antennae, somewhat damaged wings, upside-down on blueberry blossoms.

Bees visiting blueberries in the yard yesterday! Two-spotted bumblebee queen (Bombus bimaculatus) and male southeastern blueberry bee (Habropoda laboriosa.) #bees #bugsky #bloomscrolling #insects

Guy in an iNaturalist tshirt with a camera holding a sign that says “Free Rodney Taylor, Free them all!”, standing on a patch of dirt and grass with another protestor in the background and many cars passing by.

Bee among dead leaves; bee is dark with blond hairs on her face (pronounced facial foveae), thorax mostly bare on top but with lots of hair on sides, and combs of blond hair on legs.

Pop-up protest at Clairemont and N Druid Hills yielded lots of supportive honks and the discovery of a nesting aggregation of miner bees (likely Andrena barbara) on the traffic island. Fortunately I had my camera in the car to document it for #iNaturalist.

I hear you - a little less satisfying when it appears to be trolling a bot rather than a human being, but nonetheless.

we used to have Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, Mike Pensions, Gary Literacy, Pete Socialsafetynet,

A female bee clinging to a pink/purple blossom with a male clinging to her hindquarters and another male wrapped around the first male. The bees are dark brown/black with yellowish hair on face and thorax and pronounced hair bands on abdomens.

The redbud trees are apparently where the action is. Colletes inaequalis, unequal cellophane bees, from this afternoon.

An Army Corps project could wipe out one of Florida’s last thriving coral reefs The fate of one of the last thriving coral reefs in Florida may be imperiled by plans to widen the shipping channel leading into Port Everglades.

The US army corps of engineers is considering, right now, what would be the largest destruction of coral reefs in US history. To make a port slightly bigger.

People know this, right?

Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:

Math professor and bookkeeper/bookie. (The distinction between the two was confusing to me as a child. After police cracked down on mob-run illegal gambling he turned to legitimate bookkeeping, which was apparently a big letdown.)

If so how shortsighted. Why not make videos people will actually watch?
