Linear Attraction. Anthidium manicatum, Wool Carder Bee, on Pencilled Geranium, Geranium versicolor, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The Hortus here is always a wonderful place to visit; but now in Full Spring it's especially delightful. Pencilled Geranium's seductive powers much add to the varieties of insects one might see. They're attracted by its scent and guided to the nutritious stuff by those flower lines in deep pink. A Wool Carder Bee is consuming its fill!
