Hier wird nicht nach Öl oder Mineralien gesucht, aber man ist nicht untätig. Nun kommt der Herbst und die Saison der Bienen neigt sich dem Ende zu.

The bees did a good job again this year. Now comes autumn and the lively bustle is slowly coming to an end.

This is from several months ago, when the great golden digger wasps were active in the flowers. Shot with the Raynox DCR-150 in front.

Here's another photo I took of a beautiful Blue Digger Wasp in my front yard in Maryland.

This great gold digger wasp was commingling with the bees among the tiny blossoms near the waterfront. Taken with the Raynox on the 200-500 with 1.4 TC. Uncropped.

Each Spring the Digger Squirrels at our house have babies and the babies take up wrestling as a daily activity. Here are two of the baby Digger Squirrels that enjoyed wrestling at our house this past Spring.

Photographed inside a hedge bindweed flower in the La Crosse River Marsh. Sorta kinda pretty sure on the ID of this pollinator.

"A diamond never starts out polished and shimmering. It once was undeveloped, but with enough pressure and time, becomes absolutely divine. I’m a goal digger with a diamond mind. My own business I mine, it will blow you away with how it shines."- Gi

An anthophorid digger bee (Anthophora urbana) departs a vinegarweed flower after extracting nectar. Notice the exposure of the flower stamen to pollen on the bee's behind. For an interesting read, ask your favorite LLM AI about the pollination mechanism of vinegarweed. See bugguide.net/node/view/78939

Tiny little chunky awesome guys!
