CAPTIVE — late July 2023. ex-ova larvae.
"Pocahontas” form of female — capture location mapped.

Despite time difference in photos, this is the same bird in all photos - it took us a while to move to a different location for seeing it from a different angle without disturbing it.

Tricolored Bumble Bee (Bombus ternarius)Observer
cgbb2004Description
I watched the large Tricolored Bumble Bee (a queen?) buzzing around in the area, and then all of a sudden it/she landed and walked right into this little hole in the ground. She backed partially out three or four times over the next few minutes, which allowed me to catch the photos of her in that space, but I didn't see her actually leave the hole. (I waited only four or five minutes, though. Mosquitoes were intense....)
