Rusty-patched Bumblebee: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, August 2025 — So, according to google this is a Rusty-patched Bumblebee, once common in Maine, but now quite rare, endangered, both in Maine and all through the northeast. I have done my best to confirm that it is actually a Rusty-patched and it looks like it is. If anyone knows better please let me know. It is enjoying foraging in Sweet Joe-Pye-Weed in a little marshy area on the banks of the Mousam River where an effort is being made to restore native vegitation. Sony a6700.
