Nice one @WhiskeySandwich

Awesome posts, friends! Check out this intimidating, yet kind big bug dude I saw this evening. He looks like a hawk wasp or something? More formidable when in flight.
Was chill enough to let me take a few quick pics.
Edit: from closer inspection, it appears to be a fly of some kind. The eyes gave it away.

@SKT the first one is an assassin bug. The second is actually a damselfly which looks much like a dragonfly minus the wing orientation and body size.
Both of which are cool as hell. -
Does anyone know if different bee species are territorial?
I was walking home with the dog earlier. Both my house and my neighbour's have lavender out the front, which is in full bloom and smelling lovely. There have been big fat bumblebees all over mine for about two months now. But as I walked passed my neighbour's house I noticed that his was swarmed with honey bees, and there wasn't a bumble in sight. Just two-driveways' width away, outside my place, and there were no honey bees, only the big fat bumblebees.
Just wondering if there were any apiarists on here that might comment, esp. as Google informs me that different bee species are not supposed to be territorial?
