Similar shot to the one I posted the other day. Love the background, the eye, and the antennae. Not sure what it thought it was doing on the bud because it’s obviously not throwing pollen, but… Those wool carder bees are a little weird anyway. Might have been resting a minute and ensuring that nobody was entering his territory. Who knows. But he’s sure a good looking bee! (And yes, I think this one’s a male. They’re a little bigger…and they’re the aggressive, territorial ones.)
