Eggplants and Insects

Naughty little conehead eating my eggplant leaves!  Must say, it was too impressive to do anything but take pictures of it.  :~)  Favorite bug ID website here.

Busy little bumblebee collecting precious stores of pollen from my eggplant flowers (which are a bit more intense in coler due to adjusting tonal levels with my picture software).  Look at those bundles of pollen on its quarters!  Did you know that bees pack pollen grains into the tiny hairs on their back legs?  Pollen baskets!  They feed their young with pollen.  :~)
