this little bee, like many solitary bees and wasps, sleeps with his mandibles holding onto a stem & legs tucked up. he’s Coelioxys coturnix, a nonnative cuckoo bee recently introduced to a few spots in the US

Coelioxys are one of several groups known as cuckoo bees; females of this particular species lay eggs in the nests of their close relatives, Megachile leafcutters. Coelioxys larvae kill the host larva with sharp mandibles, then devour the pollen its unwitting benefactor worked to stockpile.

rotated him a bit to show off the pseudopupil effect

Any artists who like creating creatures and need inspiration from time to time, please feel free to peruse my bugs! I would be delighted.

For the record, encyrtid wasps are perfect creatures, and you may not have heard of them, because they're tiny, and wasps. But LOOK 🖤

Encyrtids are important biocontrol agents, pretty much always tiny (biggest one I've found is a few millimeters long), and the most ridiculous, goofy, gorgeous, harmless things. I will get people to love them.

Bilateral Gynandromorph

Organisms that have a mix of male and female characteristics on each side of their body. They occur in certain insects, birds, and crustaceans due to a genetic anomaly during early development. In perfect bilateral gynandromorphism, the creature's body is divided in a line down the center. One side is male and the other side is female. However, such conditions are exceedingly rare.
