An Umbrella for a Bumblebee
We were taking a nature walk with my Dad yesterday and the rain started to drizzle lightly, which it had been doing off and on all day. We came upon one of my Dad’s garden flowers (Rose of Sharon) and noticed this little critter tucked away inside.
The bumble was holding on to the "style" part of the flower and hanging out until the rain stopped. My Dad said that he has seen them do this many times when it was raining.
When I zoomed in I could see the little particles of pollen on his body. Evidently the rain had interupted his work in the pollination process. I think that flower made a perfect umbrella for a bumblebee.
