Summary[edit]

Description

Previously seen on this Flickr site was the male of Eucera dubitata, now here is the female. The genus is a spring one and as you can see from its longggg tongue it has the equipment to harvest nectar and pollen from long corolla-ed flowers. So much complexity, so much evolutionary comradeship between bees and flowers, florists should be so very thankful, come to think of it they should be funding some of this research (...making note to self). Collected by Sabrie Breland in the whispering long leaf pinelands of south Georgia. 00:13, 11 March 2015 (UTC)00:13, 11 March 2015 (UTC){{{{{{0}}}}}}00:13, 11 March 2015 (UTC)00:13, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

The grass so little has to do, A sphere of simple green, With only butterflies to brood, And bees to entertain,
