geeesh... what is that? Any idea what it is called? It seems to hv the mouth of a ladybug but the rest of it sure is strange.
For something less strange.. A Cucumber beetle.

For some reason, the body of this bee reminds me of tiger prawns.
It was hiding in a squash flower.

Nope.. not sleeping. It moves here and there but remains inside the flower. All the other bees pass by and poke their nose in but fly off immediately.Originally Posted by mick123

Seems to be the style some of the bees. They just sit in the flower for a long time.. move here and there a bit but won't leave. The flowers bloom only for a few hours in the morning then by almost noon, they all close.
Today's bee is a bit scruffy looking. Looks kinda worn out.

.... and basically this is what it looks like when it sits in the flower.. no extension tube used to take this pic. Just to hv an idea what the squash blossom looks like.

And this is what it looks like at almost noon. Blossoms closed. If you look carefully, u can see a golden egg squash on the right. I hv to bend over that wire fence to take pics of the bee in the flower. The wire fence pokes upwards and my face is basically by the pointed ends of it, in between the wires.
