A striped sweat bee!

I know it's a terrible photo as it's blown up and pixelated (so don't zoom in!) but this was such a lovely tiny little guy, I had to take a photo to share. I was so excited to find him.

Auriferous Green Sweat Bees*

Good morning! (Or good evening to my down-under Fedifriends.)

I hope everyone had a good night, sleeping as soundly as these tiny things. I'm so glad these flowers are still sheltering so many bees in these cold nights. I wonder where they go when the flowers are finally gone?

For day 5 of #SciArtSeptember prompt corridor I am sharing the pollinator garden work which I made for my show about the future of pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems. Using collaged linocut prints I built up this little garden with multiple native wildflowers, bees, moths, butterflies, beetles and a log, complete with some holes as homes for native bees. ๐Ÿงต1/n

This sweat bee is the second one to get stuck in my house today. At least I was able to get a decent close-up. Both bees were safely captured and released outdoors. #macro #bees #SweatBee #bugstodon #glare

Some pollinators are hard at work... Some are using flowers as a hammock. :-)
