Buzzer the bee found a lovely dandelion to sample the sweetness held within.

"Sweet Dandelion"
Oh' poorly weed I need,
Oh' lovely flower of mine,
Oh' dreamy nectar so devine,
Oh' sweet little dandelion.
Original poetry by; Buzzer the bee 🐝

Dandelion leaves can be eaten raw or cooked.
They are full of vitamins, A, C, K, and K, also iron, calcium and potassium.
The roots can be used for tea or coffee, personally I won't be trying this.
The flowers also can be eaten raw or baked, I won't be trying that method either. 😂
No wonder the insects like these flowers, they know what's good for them. 🐝

Not sure which one of the Doli flies this is, they don;t still for long and this one was gone before the next shutter click. Happy Fly Day Friday
Known commonly as the eugenia caterpillar moth, natural range being the Indo-Australian tropics.
I noted the curiously upturned abdomen tip, lending this moth a unique lateral profile.
Larvae feed on Eugenia uniflora and Syzygium cumini (family Myrtaceae).

We saw several of these ridiculously cute and extremely tiny butterflies, about the size of my pinkie fingernail, squabbling over perching spots on a shrub in Costa Rica. They were all males from a butterfly family called metalmarks (Riodinidae), for the metallic spots on many species' wings. Males have reduced front legs and perch using only the rear 4, whereas females can use all 6. Sarota acantus; Costa Rica
