Seasons change, stars drift across the heavens, and in long quiet moments the human mind returns once again to the eternal question: what even is a crocodile?
Hoplitis truncata. A relatively uncommon bee, that shows up here and there with no apparent pattern that I can see. You can see a nice view of the long tongue this species has to extract nectar from deep-throated flowers. Picture by Kamren Jefferson. Bee from Dave Smith’s malaise trap samples form Hardy County, West Virginia.
