Naturally Difficult

The two attached photos were taken in the second week of September, 2014.

One is of a worker bumblebee and the other, a worker wasp.

Temperatures were cooling off, the young had all been raised, and these two no longer had a purpose.

Their respective queens were long gone and if they looked back wistfully knowing the fates of the workers they were leaving behind--their young all--we will never know.

It's tough on Earth.
