Bees, butterflies, and bizarre botany.

This is a green bee, sometimes known as a "Sweat Bee". They aren't really aggressive, unless of course you reach out and try to grab one.

I wanted to mention how interesting the life cycle of the monarch butterfly is. The length they travel each year for migration is amazing; each winter flying 2500 miles to either Southern California or the Transvolcanic Range of Mexico.

Not only is their destination location specific, they also only hibernate in a specific type tree. In California it's the Eucalyptus trees, and in Mexico the Oyamel Fir tree.

Not really sure what type of fungus/parasitic "thing" this is, but it's residing on a pecan tree in the front yard.
