<font size=3>Hi Blake:<br>
3. This Bumble Bee is Bombus impatiens, the commonest bumble bee in Kings
Co. but B. bee populations vary quite a bit across the province.<br>
4.&nbsp; This is an interesting bee because of its colouration. Never saw
this one before. David McC will known.<br>
5. This is an hoverfly. It may be Meliscaeva cinctella (see link) but I
suspect it is a Sphaerophoria sp. There are many species of the latter in
NS but I understand even the collection in the NS Museum are not
unidentified.<br><br>

<font face="tahoma" size=4>Good morning everyone.<br><br>
I have posted a few new invertebrate photos on my Flickr
site.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am requesting ID help for three of them.&nbsp;
<br><br>
1) - Salt Marsh Tiger Moth (Estigmene acrea) larva<br>
http://flic.kr/p/cVVU59<br><br>
2) - Definite Tussock Moth (Orgyia definita) larva<br>
http://flic.kr/p/cVVTQJ<br><br>
3) - Unidentifed Bee<br>
http://flic.kr/p/cVVSWd<br><br>
4) - Unidentified Insect<br>
http://flic.kr/p/cVVT7f<br><br>
5) - Unidentified Insect<br>
http://flic.kr/p/cVWeCb<br><br>
The moth larva identifications were courtesy of Jim Edsall, who remarked
that he was unaware that the Definite Tussock Moth occurred in Nova
Scotia, but “now it does”.&nbsp; There is so much to learn about the
province's insect life.<br><br>
I welcome comments and ID suggestions.<br><br>
Cheers,<br><br>
Blake<br>
