Photograph of a pinned bee from overhead view. It has long antenna with flattened circular tips. Its body is black with sparse yellowish hair and its wings have darkened tips.
I think it is a male Dieunomia sp. I wonder what the flattened terminal antenna segments are for? I've seen that male Megachile sp. have them too

A yellow-green butterfly resting below a leave. The butterfly shows some brown spots on its wings.
Close up of the upper part of a butterfly resting below a leave. The butterfly appears to have grey colores eyes but the colour might differ depending on the light.
The giant sulphurs are sleeping below the leaves β€οΈ! you can find this family of butterflies from Alaska to the Andes region of Peru.
P.S. At 1/20 I think I might benefit from a speed booster to have sharper pics with the macro under an APS-C sensor.

A relatively large piece of leaf that has been cut away from the rest of the leaf is being carried by a leafcutter ant worker (Atta cephalotes) along a thin twig from right to left. Another worker appears to be riding the leaf on the other end.

Photo of a millipede on the shoulder of a road. It's about 3.5 cm long, the body armored with brown, overlapping plates. The rear edge if each plate is thinly lines in pale yellow. It has numerous, tiny legs, and it has 2 antennae protruding from its head.
Is it an aromatic cherry millipede (A. corrugata)? What do you think? And no, I didn't sniff it to find out. Photo taken in Central NY State #Invertebrate #Arthropod #EntomologySky π§ͺ

The dark-edged bee-fly (Bombylius major) are about now in the UK and through until late June. A bee-mimic with a long straight proboscis used for feeding (not stinging). They're good pollinators. Pictured today, Lamplighters Marsh NR, Bristol (26.03.26). #invertebrate #insectphotography #ukwildlife
A green sea anemone - *Anthopleura xanthogrammica* - basks in a tide pool. Though its bright green color mostly comes from animal pigment, it also hosts both dinoflagellate and green algal unicellular symbionts. I just love the purple tentacle tips contrasting with the vivid green.
Who needs anemone? #MarineLife #Invertebrate ππ¦ππ

Clam worm with many wiggly legs in shallow water at the beach. The worm is dark colored.
Saw a bunch of cool wiggly clam worms in the shallow waters around City Island yesterday. Seagulls were feasting on them. Wikipedia says early spring is mating season and they develop the ability to swim. Fun to see, but they look like a Klingon delicacy. #invertebrate #clamworm
