A very last minute #InsectSaturday / #InsektenSamstag + ๐š‚๐š๐š˜๐š›๐šข ๐šƒ๐š’๐š–๐šŽ

I have been bemoaning the fact that it's been so cold in the UK that the bees have been nowhere to be found. While I was taking pictures of Mom's roses I had to crawl halfway into my Hebe and when I turned around I saw MY FIRST BEE! It flew away before I could get more than a shot of it's ass but I was so excited that I sent this pic to @NotAHopeInHades to share my joy. After graciously complimenting my photo (in an attempt to soften the blow, no doubt) they gently informed me that my bee was, in fact, a motherfucking wasp.

So here's a Yellowjacket tush with some ready to burst Hebe buds. Enjoy.

While watching the flowers for visiting butterflies, I was visited myself.
