Butterflies and Bees

Today's post is all bugs!

My buggy coworker said this is a common swallowtail. It was flying around the botanical gardens.

This California Buckeye was also hanging out in the garden, but harder to get to.

I've read that California has a ton of different kind of bees. This was one of the fatter ones.

And these are the honeybees. Their wings are quite amazing, right?

I believe this is the same kind of honeybee out collecting nectar.
