ハルジオンでよく見かけるたぶんダイミョウキマダラハナバチ なかなか顔は見せてくれない

In #Canada, a Short-tailed #Weasel (Mustela richardsonii) carries off its Northern Short-tailed #Shrew (Blarina brevicauda) prey, and it's our #TwoferTuesday Observation of the Day! Seen by trinitygc. More details at: inaturalist.org/observations/2…

My brain this week at every inopportune time:

The lucky shaker says that today will have moderate luck 👀 After the total 💩 show that was the end of the day yesterday I’ll take anything

そしてまたダイミョウキマダラハナバチ。 Nomada japonica

小型のキマダラハナバチ。 Nomada sp.

小型のキマダラハナバチ。Nomadaは大きさ含め多様ですね。 Nomada sp.

I think this cake says it all ❤️ thank you to everyone who came to my defense today and for all the support! its been a wild, challenging but very rewarding 5 years and im so excited for what comes next 🐝❤️

I guess getting locked out of my building has its perks

Well apartment we had a good 5 year run We survived the worst of the pandemic together & even though the roaches & that one dead mouse kinda killed my soul Im gonna miss you ill especially miss watching people get parking tickets & how on really nice days I could see CN tower

These “lepida” males have been driving me nuts 🤪 Are they all “lepida”? Maybe and if they are, the color variation is wild

Found some interesting aphids on campus today! At first I thought they were specks but then I noticed some with wings 👀

A sweet bug I found on my walk this morning 👀

From my morning walk! A heron, some ducks and a cormorant ❤️ Maybe I should become a morning person

I found this cool Nomada in a box of bees from Arizona 👀 I’m not sure what species he is, but he’s not matching to what I thought it was. I’ll have to do some more searching tomorrow 👀 also find me at the other site! I’m gonna try posting there more often and less here

The sunset tonight was gorgeous ❤️

Found this really chill male Nomada imbricata at the Andrena regularis aggregation by campus! He was super photogenic ❤️

Late night shenanigans from yesterday XD
