Bumblebee and bleeding hearts
The attack of the round things
Something I did last year for my bee biology class! Here is some stuff in spanish about the Tecoma Stans (commonly known as Chicala) which is a native Colombian plant I studied for some weeks to look at their polinators and insects around! (such as honey bees, which are not native; and some bumblebees like thygater aethiops and bombus hortulanus, both native. I also saw spiders, beetles and flies, but they are photos rather than illustrations) :D
Not gonna lie, I would love to participate in projects to make scientific illustrations someday!

I ♥ #bumblebees - and they seem to like my #phacelia #Dortmund #Nordstadt #dogpatch (en Bornstraße)
Parent: How many lives have you saved?
Me: Human or Bee?
All the more reason to support local bees.
got my hands on a field guide of californian bugs and i found that there's this one bee species in southern california that looks like this
![[id: a drawing of xylocopa varpuncta, aka the valley carpenter bee. the drawing portrays a female and male of the species respectively
the female is pitch black, she has huge eyes and sketchily drawn antennae on her head. she has blue-purple lighting on the side of her face to bring out the details. Under her is white text surrounded by a black box that reads, "FEMALE".
The male is drawn in a far more simplified and cartoonish way. He is yellow and has a lighter sand color "mane" around his neck. he has huge, green eyes with beady pupils. he has rounded antennae. below him is text that reads, "male". end id]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f1014b9292a7dd5e95fb21b9a36288a2/a63d91e5d2a95aac-9d/s500x750/50d3c5f364f0d7cf4999cf4c63929b23ef63ff7a.png)

Taken back in either late summer or early autumn of 2015. Honestly, #bumblebees just look so cute and cuddly. Since I can't pet them I just take pictures of them. #Chicago #pollinators #flowers #photography (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFMHsNlfIz/?igshid=15bxynv13h57w
Don't worry, bee happy.
This adorable bumblebee buzzed over and photobombed my flower picture.

Who KNEW!?
So I just had found out that Bumble bee have five eyes. Thats fucking crazy!
So like I start most of my mornings. I wake up to the the blaring sound of my phone alarm. Which I do believe adds to my stress of not being my full self. Oh how I miss not having any responsibilities. I wish I could share the boat load of things with a person who loves me.
I phrase my statement this way because there are so many people who fake being in love. i just rather have people love me way more than I love them.
I'm a good guy, but not a nice person. And no! I will not elaborate nore explain. It takes so much from me being responsible. I fucking hate it. But! When I'm not in a leadership position or have anything to do. I feel as if I'm supposed to be doing something. I feel so weird about it.
Any who, I happen to wake up because of my alarm and wanted to paint something. I have a tattoo that I'm getting on the 6th of this month. it's gonna be pretty. I'm having flowers and all sorts of pretty things. I'm getting a garden on my arm. So one of the things a garden has are insects. Wiyh all of thi being said. I was watching garden videos so I could get a better idea of what should be in my tattoo.
and boom! I see this awesome garden video and the gardener, zoom into a close up of the bee. and I was like ughhhh!!! What the fuck! Is tat a mutant bee? and nope! Its a normal bee. They do not just have two really big eyes, they also have 3 tiny ones.
This makes me sad because, now, when I look at them. They look like spiders. And in my head spiders look FUCKIN ugly. and now I have these crazy ass looking creatures on my arm. It's a fucking lie, A lie I tell you. A lie, I just wanted to vent about how all my life, I have loved these creatures... and they, they..... they look nothing like how I thought them to be. I mourn fo my memories.
