Summary

[edit]
Description I love the form of this shot. The strong diagonal formed by bee head wing and thorax with the lovely interplay of bows and arcs found in tongues, antennae, wings, and legs, with a crisp pink-hued alien eye right in the middle....looking at you. Probably a specialist on bindweed pollen, this group of bees runs from the Southwestern states down into southern South America. Note the expanded femurs of this male, interesting to speculate as to why. From the Packer Lab.
