Decorated cloak-and-dagger bee, Thyreus decorus, Apinae

Species in the genus Thyreus are cleptoparasitic cuckoo bees, meaning they lay their eggs in the nests of other bees. Once it hatches, the larva will eat food stores meant for the host larva, and sometimes the host larva itself. Found in Asia.

Dubious superpowers. Pick one.

A. Sleep like a cuckoo bee. Simply bite on to a branch or parapet of a building & get a solid seven hours in all weather & conditions.

B. Live on nectar. Feel fully energized & get excellent nutrition on a diet of nothing but sugared drinks.

C. Diapause your life. Slow down aging, & metabolism at will during the winter months. You could sleep for days & eat very little with no ill effects.

D. Powerful sting. Sting people you don't like. Boy will it hurt 'em!

Lunate Longhorn-Cuckoo Bee

It is interesting to observe the variety of insects visiting our flower gardens. Maintaining a reliable food source for some insects may help them to become established and not merely transient.

Our quality inspector hard at work! ✨A portion of this fursuit sale will be going to the Toucan Rescue Ranch, so let's talk about them!

The Toucan Rescue Ranch is a Costa Rican non-profit organization. Founded in 2004, they began with a goal of rescuing and releasing injured toucans. They now work with many species including sloths, owls, parrots, coati, and more!

TRR provides volunteer opportunities and educational programs for people to learn about taking care of their environment and local animals. With their breeding program, they successfully bred Emerald Toucanets in captivity for release in the wild. We aren't affiliated with them in any way, we just really admire what they do!

10% of our Cuckoo Bee Cat sale will be donated to the Toucan Rescue Ranch! https://poeproductions.org/store/ Get a cute suit and help a good cause!

If you'd like to make your own donation, check out their website! https://toucanrescueranch.org/

I was taking a picture of these flowers growing in my campus' parking lot when this blue fellow decided it wanted a photoshoot!

Google says it's a type of cuckoo bee, bees that lay their eggs in other bees' nests. Do parasitic bees like these cause a lot of damage to other bee populations or is it negligible? And is the blue we're seeing pigment or structural?

Thanks and sorry for asking so much, love your blog! <3

Looks like a cloak and dagger bee in the genus Thyreus, and yes, cloak and dagger bees are a type of cuckoo bee. Parasites and parasitoids are a very important part of any ecosystem and help keep other species' populations in check. If they decimated the populations of their host entirely, they wouldn't have a host to take advantage of. So it's a delicate balance. I'm afraid I couldn't find whether their blue color is pigment or structural, though!
