  1. CW: Bee balm now with bee! (Pic of a bumblebee, plus an unknown (to me) insect)

    There are always bees in the bee balm – today I got lucky and got pic of one. Here's a bumblebee friend foraging in the sunshine.

    Also, a new-to-me insect encounter. Anyone know who this little guy is?

  2. #Trilobites were primeval #arthropods, still unknown whether they belong to the ancestor lineage of #Chelicerata or all #Euarthropada. Besides their body segmentation, they possess #compoundeyes. #Asaphus #kowalewskii lived in the Ordovician and had #stalkedeyes, allowing it an overview of its surroundings even when covered with sediment.
