For #BlueSkyArtShow on Dec 13, 2025, one of my #FavoriteThings are #bees, and here is my favorite of my favorite. Asian rock bee Apis dorsata, here in Sri Lanka. Hornet-sized workers protect exposed comb by forming protective curtain of 10,000-40,000 bees. #naturephotography #insects #photography

Even #small things can have big consequences. A worker bee (Asian rock bee, Apis dorsata) on her exposed nest in Sri Lanka, holds a drop of water on her tongue. Like mammalian sweat, the heat taken away by evaporation helps keep things cool. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #bees

What is it like #inside a #honeybee hive? You would see several parallel combs covered with workers, doing their jobs. It would be dark. This is a view, in red light, which we can see but bees cannot. From an installation at Gallery Project in Ann Arbor. #BlueSkyArtShow #insects #photography

For the #BlueSkyArtShow on September 20, 2025, the theme is #angles. Here: people walking up a STEEP angle at #SleepingBear dune overlooking #LakeMichigan. One of the most beautiful places in the US; it is hard to appreciate until you have been there. #midwestbeautiful #photography #eastcoastkin

And why not another wasp defending its #home for the #BlueSkyArtShow. This one is (probably) a Great Golden Digger Wasp (Sphex ichneumoneus), photographed in #Indiana. Still #midwestbeautiful.

I was picking up dog poop, found a fresh one, and was briefly surprised to see a hornet on it and not flies. My hypothesis: the wasp was using the turd as a hunting ground. Sure enough...(classified as graphic for those who don't want to watch dog poop video for breakfast). #Insects #nature 🧪
