      Indeed. I was really not paying attention...
      Thanks!

      I called it a carder bee just to give it a name, but couldn't find a really good matching ID.       Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago

        Considering there are around 250 Bombus species, it is not easy to identify them... Posted 12 years ago
