A Golden Haven

Nestled within the vibrant embrace of a golden wildflower, a honey bee busily collects pollen, seemingly lost in its work. But just beyond the petal’s edge, danger lurks—a well-camouflaged ambush bug (Phymata) waits in silence, blending seamlessly into the dried plant. Whether the bee is unaware or cautiously mindful of the lurking predator, it takes refuge in the flower’s warmth, savoring the moment before venturing back into the unpredictable world beyond.
