Summary

Description

Darn It! Another cool Centris (C. varia) from Costa Rica collected by Tim McMahon. I just don't intersect with these species often enough to have that many Centris stories in my bag....sadly it has been over 5 years since I have been in Centris territory at all. Be that as it may there are over 200 species cluttering up Central and South America with splash over throughout the Caribbean, Florida, and the SW U.S. I will say that Tim has really upped his specimen game once he stopped hanging around with our "bees per minute" operation and started hanging out with the museum crowd. Very nicely done (but very slow)! Photo by Cole Cheng. 14:44, 27 September 2021 (UTC)14:44, 27 September 2021 (UTC){{{{{{0}}}}}}14:44, 27 September 2021 (UTC)14:44, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See

We are resolved into the supreme air, We are made one with what we touch and see, With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair, With our young lives each spring impassioned tree Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
