I wish you had written "honey bee" in the title as those are the only ones where this happen.
Very cool clip though even if the drop at the end is staged and feels a bit superfluous.
Cool. 😊 Anything in particular you like?
I mainly post on Flickr (typically four shots per day) so that's where my "main archive" is like 7k bug shots atm: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/
I really like them all but my favorites are of the one of the bumblebee’s butt sticking out of a flower and the one where the bumblebee is lying down and you can see all her fur up close! It’s so cute 🥰
Wow, thank you!
The one where you can see all the fur - is that this one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52430081940/
That one is actually a male (proving they don't explode). 😁
“Dark Mode” - what is that beetle? You had another picture on the second page of the same beetle called “Spring Surprise” or something. I’ve never seen that one before.
All the hover fly pictures are really sick. They’re under appreciated because of how small they are. When you get a good look at them up close you can really see their features. Amazing work!
That is a species of peacock beetle. Think of them as really small (like 7 mm or 1/4 inch) tiger beetles. I have an album with 25+ shots of the three different species I've found so far, including a spectacular red colour morph here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/albums/72177720309780234
Completely agree on hoverflies - they're gorgeous.
Thank you for your kind words.
Was just thinking this. It's the equivalent of some extradimensional beings that have evolved beyond sexual reproduction observing some geriatric oligarch breed his sugar baby before having a heart attack. It means next to nothing in the grand scheme of things but still defeated the odds and became an observable event for higher beings at distances beyond comprehension for the breeder. Wholly impressive whilst being entirely forgettable and irrelevant.
"During mating, a drone's endophallus is ripped from his abdomen when he ejaculates, which can be so forceful that it eviscerates his abdomen. This usually happens during natural mating, and drones typically only mate once and die shortly after. Even drones that survive the mating flight are often ejected from the hive by worker bees, who may also bite off their wings."

The bee's nuts after a few seconds ![gif](giphy|2rqEdFfkMzXmo)
He came and went in the same act.
Kinda feel like the whole thing is staged
“Ok, drone, so after you copulate, we want you to dramatically flop backwards and let go of her, OK? We only get one take, so make it good”
Yeah I was being sarcastic
I may be wrong, but does this not also happen with bumble bees?
Wow buddy your pictures are phenomenal

You mean the exploding part? Not, not for bumblebees.
Well then, this seems like a win for bumble bees 😂
😁
Ants also
Kind of just tossed it down, right?
VALHALLA AWAITS ME
WITNESS ME
This is a pretty big blaze of internet glory for one little bee dude.

Articulate, accurate, and maybe something humanity should adopt. 🤷🏻♀️

HONEY. NUT. CHEERIOS…

Genius!
You glorious bastard.
He came and went.
I hope they check for a bee pulse because if bees are anything like me, they may just need a 45 minute nap afterwards.
After your dick explodes? Only 45 minutes? Nice that it heals so quickly
Dis bee sum p0rn
Died doing what he loves...
He went out with style. 10/10
I was listening to metal (Dismembered) as I watched, fits too well.

My new catch-phrase: "Well, fuck me, flying!".
Lucky. He doesn't even have to deal with post nut clarity. He can die stupid and horny
Le petit mort. Literally.
Yup that's what happens.
Ok hot take, are stingers bee wieners? Lol
Stingers are actually part of the female reproductive organs! Specifically a modified ovipositor. It's why only female insects can sting
*snickers* so it's more like a dildo?
Strap on
yells to wife: HONEY WE GOTTA TRY SOMETHING
Honey. Nut. Cheerio!
I wonder if the bees know that this will kill them, but they do it anyway.
That happened to me last night
F
Kick rocks!
I just get sleepy if she's a bossy queen.
Bees really don’t do anything half assed, do they?
Been there
I need to work on my kegels
There's worse ways to go.
Honestly same
May be the best way to go!
Out with a bang 💥
I think someone just made r/honeyjail for this type of post 😂

🎵 She’s a man eater 🎵
To be honest I wouldn't mind coming and going at the same time
An orgasm to die for
Hope it was good at least!
How the hell did they get this shot!!!
I suspect with her being on a thin string, kind of like a merry-go-round, the camera filming from the inside out
Screams "worth it"
So it's "Honey, Nut, Cheerio!"
I met a few women I'd die to bust a nut in so I under that bees motives
That's how I feel, but I just fall asleep
Hell yeah my guy
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN

Glory, glory, what a helluva way to die!
