leafcutter bees are among the species scientists call “solitary bees.” They do not live in a communal nest or hive like honeybees. Instead, as the insect’s name suggests, the female leafcutter cuts leaves and uses them to build a nest.
Ointment Jar Surmounted by a Lion
This cylindrical alabaster jar, used as an unguent or perfume container, is a masterpiece of unusual form and design. The lid is adorned with the figure of a small lion, its mouth open and an ivory tongue sticking out.
Around the jar are scenes of lions and dogs hunting bulls and gazelles, incised and stained with red, green, and blue paint.
The two columns on either side have lotus capitals supporting the head of the protector god, Bes. The jar rests on crossed bars ending in the heads of the traditional foes of Egypt.

Bats Use Leaves as Mirrors to Locate and Catch Their Prey
Geipel and a team of biologists documented how these bats use a clever and previously unknown hunting technique to catch difficult-to-spot prey: They angle sound waves off of leafs to home in on their prey, treating leaves as “acoustic mirrors.”

Finally a spring bee I can (probably) identify. Although they are named after fleabane, these bees are specialized Claytonia pollinators.
Thanks to @asgardian–angels for telling me about these bees.

Ringgold is best known for her colorful quilts, often associated with her ties to feminism, postcolonial critique, and activism.
