For #SeptemBee the second I've painted a red tailed bumblebee, Bombus lapidarius. The #SciArtSeptember prompt of "canopy" also applies:

Entomologists have long assumed that bees don't generally visit canopies due to a lack of floral resources. Until a few years ago, when some scientists put bee traps high up in English woodlands and were surprised to find that at least some bees do in fact visit the tops of trees. Most were solitary wood-dwelling species, but the red tailed bumblebee was actually found in greater numbers in the canopy traps than anywhere else!

We were looking at the wildflowers in front of the house today when I felt something crawling on my leg. I reached down to brush it off but stopped just in time when I saw it was this adorable little eastern bumblebee (𝘉𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴). The bee crawled down onto my sneaker and proceeded to groom itself, very chill, before eventually crawling down into the grass.

Closeup of a cute little fuzzy yellow and black bumblebee perched on the back of a blue sneaker. You can just see the beginning of the cat motif on the sneaker's side, and a sliver of purple sock and bare leg.

Busy bike day. Farmers market. Hair cut. Went to check out some safety changes on the neighborhood street with recent crashes. The weather has cooled off a bit (thankfully). Really nice day. #BikeTooter #bee

This modest masked bee: how to describe it? It's bigger than the tiny ants in my yard but smaller than the big ants in my yard.
Ok, how about this: the tiniest fairy going to the masquerade ball
