The queen of the Buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) was basking in the sun on a moss-covered beech tree trunk but didn’t fly away. This species of bumblebees flies early in the season and is known to fly in January-February months. Lansdown, Bath, BANES, England, U.K.

If you've looked at Phacelia for a while you'll understand why in The Netherlands it's called Bijenvoer, Bee-food. Our pretty Lacy Flower attracts bees of many kinds by its pollen but especially its nectar. It derives originally from the North-American West but has become naturalised in Europe from the end of the nineteenth century. It was one of the plants introduced to Britain by that intrepid naturalist and explorer David Douglas (1799-1834), who came to such a nasty end on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/5557704063/in/photolis...).
Here in Shaffy's Tuin Phacelia is being visited by a White-tailed Bumblebee. That Bee is hard to distinguish from the Buff-tail, Terrestris. But the Lemon banding suggests to me Lucorum; Terrestris's is much more orange.

It is all the more frightening that the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15) is once again only talking about money instead of urgently needed global action ;-((

Which Buff-tails these are exactly, I don't know. There are four kinds, and they're very had to distinguish 'in nature'. Whatever the case, they were happily feasting in line on Fuller's Teasel, Dipsacum fullonum.
Then I had to run in to escape the driving rain...

Buff-tailed bumblebee. The first time I’ve seen one (although I know they’re becoming more common in NE Scotland). It was huge!
Two big Bumblebees - I think Bombus terrestris - combine the pleasant with the useful, nectaring on a flowering milk thistle (Silybum marianum). Nice summer day ;-)

Our Trefoil is quite partial to which insects it feeds. The structure of the flower is such that almost only Bumblebees are able to prise the petals apart for that Sweet Lode at its centre.
I'm not sure which of two Bumblebees this one is: either, I think, 'Terrestris' or else 'Lucorum'. I didn't catch it so more intimate morphological distinctions escaped me. And those bands? well, those of Terrestris are orange-ochre, those of Lucorum lemon-orange, so declare insect books. In this photo: take your pick...

Well, the 'Bombus terrestris group' of Bumblebees has four kinds that are very difficult to distinguish from each other; hence my 'cryptic'. First I thought perhaps Olymp's Bee was a 'Cryptic', which in Dutch is known as the Wilgenhommel, Willow Bumblebee. My patch of Ground Ivy happened to be directly under a copse of Willows. But looking more carefully at my insect I though its tongue was rather too long for the Cryptic Bumblebee. So then I thought perhaps 'Lucorum', or even specific 'Terrestris'. But I just couldn't choose. So I'll just leave you with the general name of Bombus terrestris, which covers for four very similar Beasties.
Silver-washed Fritillary (Argynnis paphia) ♂️
and Buff-tailed Bumblebee. (Bombus terrestris) ♀️
The name "Silver-washed Fritillary" comes from the distinctive silver streaks on the underside of its wings. These streaks are a prominent feature of this large, orange butterfly, making it easily identifiable.
The term "Fritillary" refers to a group of butterflies known for their checkered or spotted patterns, which are also found on the wings of this species.
The scientific name "Paphia" is derived from Aphrodite Paphia, a name for the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite. The name "paphia" is another of Aphrodite's nicknames.
The Buff-tailed Bumblebee is one of the most common bumblebees in this country.
The name Buff-tailed Bumblebee says it all. They prefer to build their nests underground, for example, in abandoned mouse nests. Yes, and "Bumblebee" probably comes from the Germanic word "humm," which means "to hum" or "buzz," and that's what the Bumblebee does.
Seine Majestät mit Gefolge
Kaisermantel (Argynnis paphia) ♂️
und Dunkle Erdhummeln (Bombus terrestris) ♀️
Kaisermantel oder Silberstreif?
Beides, denn dieser Falter verdankt den Namen Silberstreif den zwei kurzen und einem langen silbrigen Streifen auf den Unterseiten seiner moosgrünen Hinterflügel, die an eine königliche Bekleidung erinnert.
Und da sind wir schon beim Namen Kaisermantel.
Dieser leitet sich außerdem von seiner majestätischen Erscheinung und dem als mantelartig beschriebenen Flügelmuster ab.
Sein lateinischer Name ist inspiriert von Aphrodite, der Liebesgöttin und bedeutet "glänzend" oder "silbern". Der Name "paphia" ist ein weiterer Beiname Aphrodites.
Die Erdhummel gehört zu den häufigsten Hummeln hierzulande.
Der Name Erdhummel ist Programm. Denn sie bauen ihre Nester bevorzugt unterirdisch, z. B. in verlassenen Mäusenestern. Ja und "Hummel" leitet sich wahrscheinlich von dem germanischen Wort "humm" ab, das "brummen" oder "summen" bedeutet und das tut sie ja, die Hummel.
