A western honeybee is buried face-first into the center of a passionflower, foraging for nectar amid the flower’s distinctive purple, white, and yellow corona filaments, with the plant’s green stamens and orange-tipped anthers arching overhead.

An orange, amber, and black-striped bee with mustard-colored pollen sacs flies away from pear tree flowers after collecting pollen. The pear tree flowers are white with yellow and green centers, yellow sepals, and grow on lime green stems attached to a woody branch.

A male Dark-edged Bee-fly feeding from a grape hyacinth flower. He is a large fly with a rounded body covered in mid-brown hair, and a hairy face. He has long, thin legs and a very long proboscis, which he holds out in front like a narwhal's tusk. He has brown eyes, which meet each other on top of his head, and his wings have a dark, scalloped mark along the leading edge.
My first Dark-edged Bee-fly of the year, a week earlier than last year's.

Close-up of a light brown thick headed fly resting on a green leaf in the shade.
Happy #ThrowbackThursday #InsectThursday beeps (bee-loving peeps). Here's a thick headed fly from last spring for the occasion.

Grey eaves with the the beginning of a round grey, papery wasp nest. A black with white hornet is on the outer layer adding to the edge.
A shiny black with white tipped abdomen, wasp with white facial markings rests on bright red plastic of a bird feeder.
A larger, black with white wasp, is hanging from a red, plastic bird feeder. She is stealthily sneaking up on a smaller yellow & black hornet that is on a yellow plastic guard.
#InsectThursday #Hymenoptera #Wasp Summer, a Bald Faced Hornet started building her papery nest. I don't mind these much, as they are not overly aggressive. But, she was building right over the door to my shed. It had to go! Felt bad as she was doing such a great job decimating the Yellow Jackets.

A monochrome close up of a grasshopper next to the roof rail on a car. The bug’s wings are tucked back and the texture of his skin captures the light in a dappling of grays and blacks.
Oh hey! Apparently #InsectThursday is a thing. So here you go. Found this guy relaxing next to the roof rails on the Subie and he hung out long enough for me to grab the camera. I moved him before I drove off.

Have you ever thought about what the world looks like through the eyes of a bee? What makes their life joyful or sad? Think about it! Smiles for all. #photo #photography #photooftheday #NaturePhotography #nature #flowerphotography #floral #Flowers #BloomScrolling #InsectThursday

A macro close-up photo of a bee about to alight upon a bevy of small purple horn-shaped flowers with violet stamen and anthers, among tiny green leaves. Her legs are stretching toward the flowers, and she is golden in the sunlight. The flowers take up the left half of the frame, while the right half is all blue sky, with a blurred bare spindly tree branch as well.

A small beetle with bright spots on its body is on a small green leaf, facing away. On its head is a red mite.
🪲 From a night walk in Tuis, #CostaRica, a very small beetle with an even smaller mite attached. I uploaded it to iNat, which identified it as Exophthalmus jekelianus, so I'll go with that. #InsectThursday #macro #photography #insect
