An unknown visitor

Ragtag Daily Prompt Tuesday: Stranger

While in the garden taking a few photos for an upcoming post, I stopped to get a few photos of some Singleness Native Bees who were enjoying the pollen of a Hippeastrum flower filling their pollen sacs. See the yellow pollen in the well filled pollen sacs on their legs.

Unknown to me a stranger appeared. He zoomed in and was gone in an instant. The Bee in the lower left side with the yellow spot on its thorax is a Masked Bee, the first time I have ever seen one at my place. Masked bees ingest the pollen and regurgitate it back at the hive rather than collect it in pollen sacs like most bees

One of my favourite Billy Joel songs
