In the backyard today, Isabel was out catching bugs with her net when she came running into the house asking me to come and see something she wasn’t sure what it was. After slipping my shoes on, I headed out the door to see what all the fuss was about.
Luckily I had my phone with me to take some pictures because I had no idea what it was. After some deep research on the web, I found her mystery insects. I told her to leave them alone and she agreed that they were just to scary to catch in her net.

Golden Northern Bumblebee.
An big honey maker that makes it’s home in the ground.
