| A Tricolored Bumblebee | July 24, 2022 |
| My expectation was that a bumblebee is a bumblebee, but I have subsequently discovered that there are many different kinds, such as the tricolored bumblebee (Bombus ternarius). |

I mean, how great is that? There's a bumblebee with what all intents is an orange belt (or pants or a vest or what have you).
Next is a tum view, also rather striking. |
|
| The final photo is the tricolored bumblebee flying away; consequently, it isn't as sharp, but it does show the colors very distinctly. |

Bumblebees are great!
Photo note: The photos were taken with the Pentax K3-II and the Pentax SMC-A* 200mm macro lens during July 2018 at the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden, State College, Pennsylvania. (Yes, it has definitely taken me a while before posting these.) |
