FfFfFfFF 58,125 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 People who study insects have been abuzz lately following a most unlikely discovery — and the amateur entomologist who made it. A 4-year-old girl with a knack for nature found two colonies of rare stingless bees, creatures that scientists thought were long gone and that no adult had managed to notice. Annika Arnout's command of nature is confounding to many adults, thanks in large part to biologist Targe Lindsey. He's her caregiver, brought in by her parents when she was 3 months old so Annika could explore nature in her Palo Alto, California, neighborhood. The bugs Annika found are stingless bees that aren't supposed to be here — they live in Brazil and are much smaller than the average honey bee. Annika found the insects in an undisclosed location, which she wouldn't divulge in order to protect her "special place." For Dr. Hauser, as much as the bees are a rare find, Annika is too. It was important for him to meet her, and he was happy to do so. He's encouraging children to be more curious about nature like he was as a kid.
