Bubble Bee

I watched an ivy bee repeatedly blow a bubble. I've never seen this behaviour before. Evidently they do this to evaporate the water from the nectar, concentrating it. It's called homeostasis.

I've added a Tachina fera fly to extras because I like the light shining through its abdomen. I've also added a holly blue butterfly. Lovely to see it as they've been so scarce this year.
