Moth and Butterfly wings are made up of little scales, kind of like a pixel drawing making up the patterns of their wings. These moths have some lovely iridescences to their scales! Aren’t try lovely?

Dad keeps sharing random facts about bees

*** bees are curious** that is adorable omg

I would be interested in seeing a skunk grab a mouthful of bees. And i like how bees went from curious to stalking real quick

Okay but no one included a picture of ghost bees soooo here:

I was talking with a beekeeper at my parent’s summer blowout party over the weekend (my life is awesome in the oddest ways) and he clued me in to a kind of bee called the ankle-biter that has been bred to fight mites in other bee colonies by BITING OFF AND EATING THE LEGS OF THE MITES and if that isn’t the coolest thing then get the fuck out I am 1000000% here for those bees

Oh, look. Bees.  Fluffy, sugar coated bees.  Time to get @formaldehydedoesstuff

I was VERY WORRIED THERE for a second because it almost looks like a– bunch of fungus covered partially dead bunch of bees or something. But that is precious. They’re little… linen-looking small walking sugar collections. Excellent.

I had to look up sugar coated bees myself and I found this beauty:

@james-tee CLAUDIA!!! I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS A THING!! SUGAR BEEEEEES.

The memes were true: sweet dreams really are made from bees.

Pretty cool young lady.

The following are Hummingbird hawk-moths. They beat their wings at such speed they emit an audible hum. Their name is further derived from their similar feeding patterns to hummingbirds. They’re found in Britain all summer long, especially in southern parts and in Ireland. 

Active in both sunny and overcast conditions, hummingbird hawk-moths are strongly attracted to flowers with a plentiful supply of nectar such as honeysuckle and buddleia. Studies reveal a remarkable memory, since they return to the same flowerbeds at the same time everyday. (Source)

That is the world’s tiniest handshake.

"Oh yes hello, I am pleased to meet you! As you may have noticed I am a moth"

Onward, steed!

This happened and humans still think they are the only intelligent life form on earth…

Reblogging because this actually is a thing that should concern more people. 

If bees go extinct we will ALL die. No question about it. We cannot live without them.

fav post save da beez

fun fact: bees are a “cornerstone” species, meaning if a cornerstone species goes extinct, it takes the entire ecosystem with it. If bees go extinct, a lot of flowering plants, fruits, and vegetables will go extinct with them, causing a massive food shortage worldwide that will kill millions.

So yeah, save the bees. They are harmless and help keep the planet alive and literally help grow food.

It’s art, and it’s a way to help save honeybee’s. We at Bee-Hive Studios give it a huge thumbs up. I personally can’t stand cilantro, so that will never grow in my gardens. However, I will happily plant many of the other plants this coming Spring.

memes come and go but bees and the skeleton war are forever

i lied. bees are not forever. go to savebees.org to learn more about how you can help

"no one understands me like the bees do" "son, come home" "i AM home"

Be Kind to Moth

A short comic based on this post that’s been going around.

Please be kind to our tiny friends? Moths are really harmless, and despite the fact that people freak out over them eating holes in your clothes? Only very few species do that, and it’s not even the adults. It’s their little babus who you’ll see munching away XD. Moths are harmless in pretty much every way shape and form, and things like candles and bright lights confuse their internal navigation systems. A moth in your home flying towards a light is literally terrified and confused. So be nice the the little cutie and just bring it ouside? :)

moths pollinate at night and are also food for our ever-valuable and vulnerable friends the bats! Be nice to moths.

fuck nah

Moths are adorable.
