Bee stuck on a car antenna
Saw this in a parking lot today. I feel bad for the bee but that's pretty mildly interesting.

I’d bet a shrike put it there. They’re known as butcher birds and they skewer their prey before eating.
I don't actually think it's impaled though, looks like the antenna just hit the bee in the air and wrapped the body around the antenna from force.
Never knew that before. Pretty savage!
"Some shrikes impale their prey on plant spines within their territories, which serves as a food store and attracts females."
