A few days ago I was playing guitar (not well I promise) and this funny giant bee that looks like a clownish hornet came by and listened. It was hovering by the guitar riding the waves of vibration (all in E flat) - a very curious and unafraid insect! (See in the pic above I put little pink stars next to him so ya'll can see.)
I love it's boxy yet rounded eyes, they look like modern sculptures belonging in the MoMa in New York City- art critics would be droning on for hours about the 'organic' shapes. ;)It also has a really bold, glassy body striped in black, yellow and brown - you can't miss one of these guys if you see it. Does anyone know what type of bee this is?

OMG .. you DO play!
ReplyDeletePS: that looks like E minor. :-)
ReplyDeletei think it's a hover fly... how appropriate eh? :-)
ReplyDeleteas far as I know they don't sting - are not actually bees.
I think they are good for natural pest control of aphids!
I'm so jealous of your SUNshine!
Hey Blair -
ReplyDeleteI bet it is E minor, I dont have a clue - all i learned to play when i was 15 was I Am The Walrus, and House Of The Rising Sun.

Hover Fly! It totally does hover, it just sits there in the air in one spot like a helicopter checking stuff out - i thought it might not bite, since it's landed on me bunches of times.
PS- I think you are going to like a project I am posting tomorrow...i made my own paper from junk mail! woo!
We call them news bees....He has come to bring you news...Hope you were listening..
ReplyDeleteBob-
ReplyDeleteI was listening, and I made some decisions. :)
Might be some sort of 'wood wasp', attracked to the smell of the guitar wood.
