From a distance, I thought this was a lamb on the ground. My heart skipped a beat. Nope! Just a rather large fire ant mound. Yowza! My heart still skipped a beat. :)

Yesterday, I saw this big carpenter bee (genus Xylocopa, or possibly Neoxylocopa) buzzing around our yellow trumpet flower bush (Tecoma stans).

My best shot of an orchid bee in flight. Taken at ~1.4x with the MP-E. Never have the right lens...

There are aphids on the stem, surrounded by the "barn". They're visible in some of the photos in this iNaturalist observation.

I checked them out today. They're still at it!

Went out to check out the pollinator garden (I go out to visit 3x a day at least adding iNaturalist observations), saw a few dragonflies fighting over territory there (nice) spotted an Eastern leaf-footed bug (Leptoglossus phyllopus) and a Megachile sp. bee posed for me.

7/22/2023 Polistes wasps usually target caterpillars. I don't know if the wasp killed the cicada. Red Wasp (Polistes carolina) & Superb Dog-Day Cicada (Neotibicen superbus). The wasp was carrying off portions of the cicada. The video shows a parcel was manipulated the legs and mandibles to force the liquids out for use in a process is called "malaxation". The video is here: http://www.rickubis.com/rick/wasp_cicada07222023.mp4 More polistes on my page: http://www.rickubis.com/rick/cowkill2.html #Polistes #Wasps #Insects #Hymenoptera

My five seconds of fame. 🙂 Glad to have helped local bee reseacher Zestin Soh (we're not related) by spotting a rare bee in Singapore. Now we know a bit more about its natural history.
Full biodiversity record at [ (PDF) https://lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/NIS-2023-0069.pdf ].
My observation that sparked off the research at [ https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/165457463 ].

Sounds like a male. They scope out and defend territory, watching for emerging females. They'll fly right up into your face, challenging you. It's all bluff. Males can't sting.
Females can sting, but they're too busy getting all the work done. They have no time for us.

Einer #Wildbiene in das Gesicht zu schauen ist immer wieder spannend. Ich hoffe, dass sie das auch so gesehen hat. 📷🐝
