@fadedphotos.bsky.socialBlack Beauty!
It’s a book from my childhood, a movie, a futuristic sci-fi car in a TV show, a comic - and a carpenter bee?
It has a deep black carapace and can also be highly destructive of homes if owners are not careful to watch for tell-tale holes.

@brucegerlach.bsky.socialA couple of recent backyard visitors. We have a few squirrels that are quite comfortable in our yard now that there isn't a dog to chase them away. One, is very friendly and smart. Today, after eating a few pecans, decided to take a rest on our patio furniture.
