This little bumblebee showed up today on my coneflowers.  Very late in the year for a bumblebee, it's been a few weeks since I saw the last one, which would have been a Hunt's bumblebee. This one appears to be a tri-coloured bumblebee (Bombus ternarius), although I'd be interested if someone has an alternate suggestion.
