Weak flier, observed about four hovering in and out of large stack of dead cattail leaves along the San Diego River flowing out of Kumeyaay Lake. About the size of a common buckeye with a distinctive black & white wing pattern and bottom section of abdomen was a fuzzy/feathered orange. None of them would land & pose for me.

It is unusual to see pollinators at Vinca flowers, so I started snapping photos of this native bee. It was not gathering pollen or nectar--but cutting petals for its nest. (Such smooth cuts!) Note: The order of these photos is last to first.

Peculiar behaviour. Got a few quick photos before they (presumably) woke up and flew off.

A Western Yellowjacket (Vespula pensylvanica) intervened shortly after the Bee Assassin caught the bee, successfully removing the abdomen for itself. If anyone has a suggestion of how to tag or annotate that, please comment below.
This individual split into two observations, because it was observed preying on two different species.

The snake couldn't get the lizard in its mouth because the lizard bit and held on to its own tail. The snake eventually gave up and let the lizard go.

Two bee species and a third tiny insect on the same flower. Not sure how to submit this; maybe as more than one observation?
