'Here's Looking at You, Kid'. Mining Bee, Andrena sp., on Knautia arvensis, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
So unforgettable the movie 'Casablanca' (1942)! So you can imagine that I thought of Rick Blaine's toast to Ilsa Lund: 'Here's looking at you, kid!', when this afternoon Andrena gazed at Sony in the Botanical Garden in chilly Amsterdam.
And just admire those mandibles! They remind me of the movie called in Dutch 'Met jouw tanden in mijn nek' (=With your teeth in my neck), by Polanski as 'The Fearless Vampire Killers" (1967).
Andrena here's on pretty mauve Knautia arvensis, Field scabious. One hopes neither Rick nor Ilsa had need of its medicamental force!
