Bees! Yes, we still mostly do bees, but have been targeting biodiversity surveys of the MAGLEV impact sites on the refuge. Here look at this tiny bee, as with all creatures there is a story as to why you do or do not find it somewhere. Here it is found because of sand (USGS TIP OF THE DAY. if you want regionally rare insects and plants go to sand, if you want to conserve them, keep that sand openish and don't let those darn trees grow in them), it is restricted to deep sand areas in Maryland it is in love with the little fall composites (yes, insects feel love). (Why do I still add 2 spaces to the end of a sentance?)This is just one of a handful of records on the Patuxent Refuge under the powerlines (transmission lines can often be the most awesome conservation area for plants and insects...because they have to be kept open ... or you can just mow all that goodness away with sprays and mowing...sigh) that will be impacted by the MAGLEV the area is full of lovely things like blooming liatris and other prairie and bog type species.

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. - Oscar Wilde
