Its insectus Invisiblus, very rarely seen.

I saw an unusual bee like insect on a campanula flower. thought it was a honey bee, but on closer inspection it wasn't, its movements were more jerky, and had a high pitched whine. Its method of collecting pollen was interesting, it grasped the stamens of the flower with its legs and did a flip so that it was standing on its head with its abdomen sticking up in the air. Very strange, its underside looked like it had pollen sticking on it, furry greenish colour. Is there such an insect that collects pollen onto its abdomen?

Whatever it is it's obviously got a very good camouflage system

No, JBM.

You've been scratching your head again, JBM.

Your dandruff is covering the screen.

There is this, (in my garden), but it isn't pollen.

Yes, just like that, although the bee had dark markings on top of the abdomen. If it isn't pollen what is it?
