Ceratina rectangulifera, f, panama, side
Tiny Ceratina from Panama...in the first picture in this series you will see a rod going into its body to hold it in position for photographing in our mini bee studio. Actually this is not a rod but the very tip of the finest acupuncture pin. Yep, that is a small bee. Another Sandra Rehan bee from Panama for you to look at and wonder what you are missing in your backyard.
The butterfly obtains
But little sympathy,
Though favorably mentioned
In Entomology.
Because he travels freely
And wears a proper coat,
The circumspect are certain
The he is dissolute.
Had he the homely scutcheon of modest Industry,
T were fitter certifying for Immortality.
