| Odd bee or not bee |
Yesterday I didn't even know bee flies existed. I still don't know if I have correctly identified the insect I watched yesterday at Oak Point Nature Preserve. Of course last week I'd never heard of picture wing flies. Until a couple months ago I didn't know about solitary bees.
The bees below look more bee-ish to my untrained eye. They were enjoying the ironweed in bloom on July twenty-first, very near where I stared at the odd bee/not bee/bee fly on Indian Blanket yesterday.
And now I'd better get busy.

How odd that in your blog roll, Insects in the City's post is What to do if attacked by bees. I thought it was pretty informative. Apparently, don't stand still and don't try to hide in water, among other things.
