Slow Emergence

Over the last several days, I've seen flies, no-see-'ems, tiny spiders, one moth, one honeybee, lots of multicolored Asian lady beetles (but then they're been here all winter), and one (I think) paper wasp. This creature was so (I would say bone-) tired that she weakly dropped from Lenten Rose petal to leaf to leaf and finally to a shaded spot between low leaves and stem. When I looked closely, I could see why: she was loaded with pollen.

Soon, I'll be in the zone and just as pooped as she!
