One more look at this bumblebee on a showy thistle called Leavenworth's eryngo, in the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center...
We were staying at a place with a tree-level deck, and I was hoping for some good bird shots. The birds just didn't show up for me, but the wasps sure did...

This little insect is very fast! I was watching him skitter over the leaves and barely got his photo before he ran under the philodendron leaf. Never saw one of these before! I looked him up in the photo search.
Fairly happy with the way photo turned out that even though this little guy barely stopped for a split second, the camera caught a decent focus.
Captured this little critter in a large stone flower box outside my bank in down town Wichita, Kansas.
