    What's buzzing or flying near you 2024 ?

    @On the Levels The bee is quite small - it’s on the forget-me-not flower. Some bees, especially the nomad type look very similar to wasps.

    Euphorbia milii (Crown of Thorns)

    Fouquieria splendends is only slightly similar, but crown of thorns does remind me of it. It's not widely available.
