Oops, my red belt slipped!

This is a Red Belted Bumble Bee - they have a wide variety of color patterns so the "belt" can be anywhere. This bumble was just sitting by the Corn Poppies in Montana, he was either too full to fly or just lazy. All his friends were having a pollen feast just two feet away!

Thank you for your wonderful comments and favs. I had never seen a bee with these colors, I was delighted to read up on this species! 365 at its best, learning more all the time just because I'm so much more aware of everything around me!
