Things With Tiny Wings!

Honey Bees have been very active on some of the warm days. I was impressed with the size of the pollen basket on the hind leg of this bee. They must be working hard to gather that much pollen at this time of year!

iNaturalist is suggesting this creature to be a Golden Dung Fly. Adults prey mainly on smaller insects. They also consume nectar and dung as additional sources of energy.

A Leaf-roller Moth

Dozens of Cellophane Bees flew just above ground level. They tend to be solitary, but sometimes nest close together in aggregations. Species in the genus build cells in underground nests that are lined with a cellophane-like plastic secretion!

While watching the Cellophane Bees, an "aptly named" Blood-winged Blister Beetle crawled past my feet.

An unknown insect hitched a ride on my hiking boot. It stayed with me for a few hundred metres before continuing on its own way.
