Epeolus
This Cuckoo Bee was waiting in the rabbitbrush for the morning to warm up on this cool October day
on Antelope Island. I'd never seen anything quite like it and haven't since. Like Cuckoo birds who
lay eggs in nests of other birds, these bees lay eggs in the nest of other bees. I guess that way you
don't have to clean house, listen to the kids fight, or feed the family. It's an amazing and crazy world
we live in, isn't it? © Carol Davis, 10-26-2008
