This beautiful thing was made by a bee.
Flower Petal Nest by Osima avoseta
In a tender new discovery scientists have learned that the solitary O. avoseta queen bee works alone to make these petal nests for individual eggs and larvae. More wonderful pictures on NPR. And nice story on eurakalert.
Thank you, Susan.

Had no idea. Wonderful to learn more about bees. It’s almost as if you can’t learn enough about these fascinating insects.
