🇬🇧Sunflower pollen on the wing scales of a hummingbird hawk moth (Macroglossum stellatarum). If you look closely, you can see that the scales are even slightly transparent. Sunflower pollen has a diameter of approx. 30µm (0.03mm), human hair approx. 60-80µm.

🇩🇪Sonnenblumenpollen auf den Flügelschuppen eines Taubenschwänzchens (Macroglossum stellatarum). Sieht man genau hin, kann man erkennen, dass die Schuppen sogar etwas durchsichtig sind. Sonnenblumenpollen haben einen Durchmesser von ca. 30µm (0,03mm) Menschenhaar ca. 60-80µm.

I probably say this every year, but this year's Guelph Bug Day is going to be the biggest, buggiest ever! Look 👀 we even had to expand to another building because of popular demand! 🥰🪲🦋🐛🪰🎉

Eufriesea sp. (Apidae, 71 species).
Orchid bees are corbiculate bees, as can be seen in the expanded concave surface of the metatibia here. Males also have expanded metatibiae but they are convex and used for perfume storage, rather than pollen transport.

A warning from @SaveWildBees, diseases from honeybees may be driving the decline of native bees like the rusty patched bumblebee. #nativebees face threats from pesticide use and habitat loss, but honeybee movements and disease spread are major issues. https://t.co/oSXvDh8SBw
