Random fact of the day. Most bees are solitary. Only 5 - 20% of the more than 20k species are social. The bee experts online don't seem to be in agreement on the actual percent.

These pretty bees nest in the ground, both solitary and communal depending on the conditions. They’re said to be defensive, though I have never experienced it myself.

A fuzzy, pale yellow bee with black stripes and long antennae. It sits on the center of a purple coneflower
The sunflower bee (Svastra oblique) looks similar to honey bees, but is a solitary species that prefers plants in the Asteraceae (sunflower) family.
They’re native to North and America and nest in the ground, often (but not always) in aggregations.

This European ground beetle paid me a visit while I was loading firewood into the woodshed this afternoon; the wind was pretty intense today and I assume he was taking shelter. I've seen lots of these critters around but never one this big!

The palmetto bugs are out here in Florida! These guys are super cool, basically little fearless bug tanks, if you're not familiar. Haven't seen many, but I've seen 2 over the last couple of days and I haven't been this happy since we had cicadas here.
