Bumblebee Rim Light

Late in the evening

The late evening sun bathes a bumblebee in rim light as it buzzes toward its next destination among the flowers, glowing briefly against the fading day.

Bumblebees use a combination of color cues, spatial memory, and even the detection of weak electric fields around flowers to determine which blooms have been recently visited and which are most worth foraging. (Source: One Kind Planet)
