Summary[edit]

Description
English: Kinda Sorta Similar. Last post was of a Dieunomia, this one is of a Halictus. Halictus parallelus, the largest of the eastern Halictus. They kinda sorta look similar, same family, but different genera. But once you drill in differences emerge in shape of the wing veins, colors on the face, the fanciful architecture of the male legs in Dieunomia (So weird I thought I had a wasp when I caught my first one...). More like the difference between mule deer and elk. Really, I don't know where I am going with this, but this can happen to you when you use spontaneous writingship, lack an editor, believe in the free punctuation movement, and were traumatized as a child through imposition of the fake science of sentence diagramming. Finally, I like this bee, and enjoy seeing them in a field collection since they don't really hang out so much in junk habitat. Photo by Brooke Goggins.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See

We are resolved into the supreme air, We are made one with what we touch and see, With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair, With our young lives each spring impassioned tree Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
