Digging

I was fascinated to watch how these reed bees were able to shove their way into the Gompholobium flowers. They just kept forcing their little heads between the wings to access the pollen presenter within. It looked like a very arduous task and took this little lady several minutes to complete her task. At one point she looked well and truly stuck in there! Thankfully her persistence paid off and she was able to free herself. Here we have a good shot of her beehind sticking out, so I will include it for Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday! [Colo, NSW]
