  1. An orange-legged furrow bee (Halictus rubicundus) wiping some pollen off its face in Carl Schurz Park. These are a type of sweat bee, and the same species can be either solitary or eusocial. Not sure which this one is, but it was covered in pollen and having a blast in some sunflowers.

  2. Two shots of a bee from the genus Hylaeus. This little guy is clearly related to the better known masked bees, but has a little color just over its mandibles and some extra yellow markings near the wings and on the abdomen.

  3. A portrait and wallpaper (my current desktop background) of a cicada killer wasp. Cicada Killers are large wasps that effectively control cicadas. They're also benign if you aren't a cicada, so unless you want to be overrun with cicadas let them be.

  4. A northern yellow sac spider in Carl Schurz Park. These are actually dangerous to humans. They're also tiny and not really interested in us.
