...the bumble bee once again:
Attachment 130509

for the first time ever I saw a bumble bee fly into a spider web and immediately get stuck, usually they get out no problem
let her crawl out on my finger and she wandered very slowly down to the wrist; if there was a spider around it was keeping well out of sight :)
one very tired bombus I'm thinking; eventually she flew off slowly, but then bumble bees rarely rush, they prefer to buzz
Nice.
thank you gary
we also had 14 red admiral butterflies all sunning on the bird table roof last tuesday, but I left them to it :)
weather is changing now, the north sea winds are back although I would not call it cold yet

I am still amazed that some helicopters get off the ground when i look at what those rotors have to lift :)
Nifty, handrsawn
Cute, docile little guy. We get a ton of bees of all kinds in the yard, depending what's in bloom.
