@Natasha_Jay But what is wrong with their legs?

@Natasha_Jay The best bumble bee is Bombus cryptarum. It looks like a regular bumblebee, acts like a bumblebee too, but genetic studies revealed it to be it's own species.

It's a secret, shush! 🀫

@Natasha_Jay You should follow @thebeeguy but be prepared for a deep rabbit hole - or a bee hole from a ground bee
@Natasha_Jay Just by looking at the drawings of those chonky fluffly bodies makes me happy. 😍
@Natasha_Jay there's a short novel called A House With Good Bones (by T Kingfisher) where the protagonist is a bug nerd and goes off on tangents about various species she runs into, and it's really enjoyable!
@Natasha_Jay I'm gonna have a closer look at the next escort quest giver
