A very furry blonde bee is diving through the air with all his legs closely tucked under his body, looking like a fuzzy bullet.

Leaf cutter males spend a lot of their time making sure no one’s getting up to any funny business in their territory
Any ne’er do wells get ambush-bopped out of the flowers

Black and white photo from a science book of a queen ant She and her daughter are very similar in form but the daughter is smaller than her entire head . The caption reads: "FIG. 9. The large female of Atta cephalotes L. held on the author's finger and with one of her attendant minima workers which refused to leave her, A fernale laying eggs weighed 346 milligrams alive and the minima workers weighed 0.4 mg. Trinidad."
Bonus cute photo of a queen and her minima worker. I love how the caption implies that the scientist could not separate them! 💗🐜 #ants #atta #queenant #leafcutters #antposting
