#TBT: a couple of places where we saw bright yellow #ErythrantheGuttata/#SeepMonkeyflower with gray #MuhlenbergiaRigens/#Deergrass making for a beautiful contrast. That fallen tree too in the first image! June 16th, 2019. (at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B24tScljQI9/?igshid=1qxfwd4h0gznn

Two bumblebees in SCP. 𝘉𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴, the red-belted bumblebee (I think), is working over a cow parsnip. A 𝘉𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴, or, as Wikipedia says it is 'commonly known,' the indiscriminate cuckoo bumblebee, is working the 𝘌𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘢, or seep monkeyflower, which Wikipedia says it's, as of 2012, one of the most studied flowers. I've never heard of either of these. Seen them, yes. Heard people speak of them in these terms, no. (I know this may not sound humble, I knew the Latin for bumble.) #cowparsnips #sonydschx400v #soldotnaalaska #soldotnacreekpark #sonydsc #SonyCameras #bombusrufocinctus #redbeltedbumblebee #bombusinsularis #erythrantheguttata #indiscriminatecuckoobumblebee #seepmonkeyflower # (at Soldotna Creek Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRjbYR6Bybm/?utm_medium=tumblr
