Oh hey! Apparently #InsectThursday is a thing. So here you go. Found this guy relaxing next to the roof rails on the Subie and he hung out long enough for me to grab the camera. I moved him before I drove off.

Spotted yesterday in the Botanic Gardens in Dublin First bee I've seen this year with pollen sacs on hind legs! And the season begins! ♡ #InsectThursday #nature #photography #macro #bees #springtime #bloomscrolling

Brown-belted bumblebee (𝘉𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘴) perched on a sunflower (𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘴 sp.). 🌻 🐝

(This is one of my favorite pictures I've taken. I took it five years ago and posted it on my previous instance back in 2024, and Throwback Thursday seemed a good excuse to give it a home here as well.)
