My sister suggested Bee!Lila- but make it based off of a bee orchid (flowers that imitate bees). So here she is! Hope you guys like her as much as I do :)

(Also I have a regular and a blue wasp version as well).

My first pass at Bee!Lila can be found here

Day 7 of posting cute creatures that we found on our field trip:

Today’s special is BEES!

^These four were male bees! They don’t have a stinger so we were able to hold them. There are no words in this world to describe how soft they are. Male bees don’t make honey, they only exist in order to fertilize the queen’s eggs and then they are kicked out of the colony to die alone.

These were females. On the left is a common bumblebee and on the right is a carpenter bee. The carpenter bee was very drunk or weakened by something because she was very sluggish. But she could have stung my professor! He wanted to hold her so that we could get a better picture. Entomologists truly have balls of steel because he is allergic to bees.

Carpenter bees are the goths of bees. They are black with violet sheen and they live alone in holes they make in wood. They too are very important pollinators, but they don’t make honey.

And lastly:

Bee orchids (Ophrys apifera)! They evolved to look like bees and they also produce bee pheromones to attract horny male bees who go at them thinking that they’ll have some fun times, but they just get tricked into pollinating this sinister orchid. (Btw, am I the only one who sees a smiling face on this flower?)
