An illustrated taxonomy poster featuring native bees found in North America, illustrated on a light periwinkle-blue background. The bees are all illustrated in various poses on native wildflowers or according to their species-specific behaviors. From top to bottom, left to right, there is the yellow-faced bumblebee, the orchard mason bee, the blueberry cellophane bee, the common long-horned bee, the western leaf cutter bee, the bumblebee-like digger bee, the bicolored sweat bee, and the eastern carpenter bee. An illustration of a humpback whale skeleton laying on the sea floor, surrounded by pink octopuses, rat-tailed fish, a giant isopod, a grooved tanner cab, and hagfish! They are illustrated on a dark blue background. An illustrated tiled pattern showing 6 species of salamanders and newts native to California arranged on a light blue background. They are mostly earthy brown, orange, yellow, and black. There are water droplets, sorrel, and redwood leaf litter scattered in between the amphibians.
