Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Blueberry, Bee

Bumblebee-like, but smaller (this time of year) and faster…

And these white facial markings. This looks like a male Blueberry Digger Bee/Hapropoda laboriosa.

Seems to have bitten onto leaf to groom with all six legs in action.
