Collaborated with @coledunlap.bsky.social here. Featuring: wizard Jake, dimensional drawing, and the electron transport chain. Beautiful thing when you get some nerds, a keg of beer, and a big whiteboard in the same room.

Bee species of the genus Melissodes are called long-horned bees, due to their distinctively long antennae. It is not uncommon to find groups of males resting together by latching their jaws on the stems of plants. I’ve depicted them clustered on a Texas Bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis).
