Shelter from the rain

By |

I got home from work yesterday evening soon after an apparently heavy downpour. I wondered where all of the bumblebees went during the rain, so I checked the usually busy giant hyssop. It took some searching, but I eventually found…

This bumblebee (and one other) clinging to the bottom of a leaf …

 

grasshopper clinging to the underside of a leaf
… a grasshopper doing the same …

 

wet bumblebee clinging to a flower
… and this unfortunate bumblebee that must not have been able to find shelter in time. He (she?) looked pretty exhausted from hanging on.
