Beardstongue Scraper Bee.  #Osmia distincta, as you can see in this picture, comes with hairs atop its head that are designed to dislodge pollen from the stamens of Penstemons that arch to the top of their floral tunnel awaiting bee visitors to pad with their pollen. A dance.

Without #cacti entire worlds would disappear.  Here is but one example, #Diadasia rinconis, a common species that aggregates its nests in desert areas into colonies.  The equally fuzzy females (this is a male) gather cactus pollen to feed their young.  No cactus…no D. rinconis.
