Very wet bumblebee on uderside of sunflower

The sun came out after some showers but things were still wet enough that this bee had not warmed up and dried out yet. You can often find bees, especially bumblebees, clinging to the underside of leaves and flowers, for this is how they sleep, and on wet days, try to shelter from the rain. Sometimes the closed up dried flower heads of Queen Anne's Lace can shelter various insects/
