Summary edit

Description

Ceratinas occur world-wide and really have the color/form/sculpturing thing down. They are the definition of crispness and elegance in my book. Expect more to come. This one comes from another worn-torn part of the world, the Crimean peninsula, but, really, bees, the study of natural history, pretty neutral ground that all can appreciate. Haven't figured out the species yet, but this is a big one. From Laurence Packer's Lab.

The murmuring of bees has ceased; But murmuring of some Posterior, prophetic, Has simultaneous come,--

The lower metres of the year, When nature's laugh is done,-- The Revelations of the book Whose Genesis is June.

-Emily Dickinson
