The burrowing bees are so cute. They'll sit right at the entrance of their holes and, when you pass by, immediately retreat. However if you wait patiently they'll come back up again.
I thought I also saw immense bees buzzing around, but they turned out to be furry scarab beetles of some kind!

Happy #PseudoscorpionPsaturday! Flipped over a random piece of wood in the garden mulch, found this critter. The green is just reflected from the green table I put the piece of wood on, but I think it makes it look like some fantasy creature from D&D or a @MichaelWhelan cover.

The last week of 2023 is #invertefest so I’m sharing a recent print I made about carmine, a bright red pigment derived from carminic acid, traditionally harvested from cochineal, a sessile parasite on Opuntia cacti in South America, north through to Mexico & the southwest US. They are laboriously collected by brushing them off the pads of prickly pear cacti. 🧵

The same species, hump-backed #beewolf (#Philanthus gibbosus) is common in my garden every summer, July through September. In some years, I've seen them as early as June, and as late as October. They visit a wide variety of flowers, preferring #Asteraceae and #Lamiaceae.#iNaturalist #InverteFest #InverteFest2022 #Insects #Hymenoptera #Wasps
