Bee landing on a vibrant red gum blossom. 2 pink blossom cups still have their caps intact waiting to open

Last few clumps of blossoms opening on this gum. An excellent show this year for a little tree.

Closeup on a wasp with black eyes and a white face, covered in raindrops as it waits out a storm in a white and yellow flower.

A solitary hunting wasp waits out a rainstorm inside a mariposa lily in the Pryor Mountains of Montana. I love looking for insects sheltering in flowers during storms. It's a great way to find and photograph subjects that in nicer weather often don't sit still. #ento #inverebrate 🐙 🌿
