The Bees Knees:
"… to be excellent or of an extremely high standard."
The expression was coined in the 1920's by American cartoonist Tad Dorgan. Dorgan also coined the phrase "the cat's pajamas", it having the same meaning as "the bee's knees".
a lucky five minutes of walking turned up four beautiful deceased insects!
these four are a two-spotted bumblebee (Bombus bimaculatus) queen (?), a reddish-brown stag beetle (Lucanus capreolus), a broad-necked root borer (Prionus laticollis) and a rainbow dung beetle (Phanaeus vindex), the first I’ve ever seen
the Prionus is missing several parts and the Phanaeus was stepped on, but the other two are pristine. I’ll try to clean up and pin all of them! much more so than killing and pinning live insects, I enjoy fixing up a dusty old dead bug found on the street or in a windowsill. it���s sort of like antique restoration…
🐛🌟 There's a lot of joy in the little things!🐝🐜
I've been working on some new delights behind the scenes. Until then, check out the many buggy creations ready to add a little brightness to your world! 💫
