Virescent Sweat Bee & Aster

from $20.00

I went decades without ever seeing a virescent sweat bee. Then someone pointed one out to me and now I notice them regularly: on raspberry blossoms in springtime, wild roses in summer, asters in fall. The name is a bit misleading, as—unlike other members of their family—virescent sweat bees don’t typically feed on perspiration. But if one lands on you, don’t worry. They don’t sting unless provoked. (And neither do the other sweat bees.)

Printed on Fujifilm luster photographic paper with a satin sheen and fine texture, perfect for rich saturation and detail. (The second image shows other photographs from the collection, framed; prints are sold unmatted and unframed.)

If 24”×36” is what you’re looking for, that is possible but some photos work better than others. Drop me a note and we can discuss.

U.S. shipping only.
