@UpYoursAlley @GOATFANGS Wow that is exceptionally tiny. It's hard to tell but best guess this is a sweat bee (Family Halictidae), maybe Lasioglossum sp.

this is the smallest non-ant hymenoptera ive ever seen, anybody know who this little pollinator is?? ID: a very small bee? wasp? type thing, covered in pollen, takes flight from a buttercup flower

I now own a french book from 1842 named « Animals »! I love the illustrations :-)

Tell me why the Haribo Starmix gummy pack includes copulating earthworms

Hands down the best common name among the orthoptera

@therainbowbee Matted bees after washing might be because fats seeped out and are in their hair :( if the fats are rancid that would explain the smell. Do you wash them with a detergent? Maybe something light like baby shampoo would help...
