bug of the day

bug of the day by urtica.
Bee Happy.

The bee spent at least ten minutes in this yellow squash flower, and only left when another bee, large and black, jumped in to share the pollen bounty.

Update 10/18/2006: Blogged and played with a bit at MemoNyanDum.

Hmm, maybe this is a squash bee?
