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.

An insect is more complex than a star..and is a far greater challenge to understand.

A cool wood burned stag beetle on a darker piece of burl wood. Love these little guys. Insects are the best! (Psst, available in my store right now)!

Just a green metallic bee (Augochloropsis metallica) on our boneset flowers.🌱
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.

Overhearing people at the salon talking about figs. Must resist talking about fig wasps. Must resist.

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!

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.

It's giving goth, it's giving punk, it's giving me LIFE, mama. Female Spined Micrathena hanging out yesterday on Theodore Roosevelt Island in DC, patiently letting me practise some iPhone macro on her.🕷️🕸️

#BugNerd #SmallIsBeautiful #Spiders #EmotionalSupportSpood
A female Spined Micrathena spider is seen in close up profile facing right of shot, against a blurred backdrop of pale green vegetation, hanging down from one of the anchor lines of her web which slants upwards across the top third of the shot. She is about 8mm long with black legs, a dark brown carapace and an oversized, ridged, bulbous black and white abdomen with six spiny points visible around the top edge, giving her an extraordinary goth/punk vibe.

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.
