    While this is interesting, I find it more fascinating that the only image obstructed in the whole article is the only image of the bee.

    Looks like the lead photo of the bee in the article about the bee... isn’t of the bee the article is about. Seems like they just photoshopped a regular bee. Here’s an image of the real one. Blue-ish, but not screaming cartoon blue. Super awesome that a population has been rediscovered, though.

    Wait, am I the only one who didn't know blue bees existed? I can't believe I've never heard of an actual blue bee until now, REAL LIFE GLYPHS EXIST!

    I didn't know these existed. Mainly because most of the blue animals are either birds, frogs or fish.

    The world we live in is genuinely fascinating once you get past the superficial "norm".

    The standards of beauty can be so boring sometimes, but it's nice to know there are unique people out there.
    Now to find more blue animals...
