 While I was thinking of what to do for the peas challenge I heard a story about a guy running into a tree and disturbing a bunch of bees and then everone around got swarmed and stung alot, then the idea hit me. I didnt know what to use for a stinger but then when i opened the pod of peas to use i noticed it has its own natural "stinger" where it's attached to the pod. so i painted the "stinger and a stripe around him, gave him eyes,a tiny spot for a cute mouth, and made antenna out of floral wire and painted it too.did all my painting with a single bristle from a brush. man! peas are small. then cut wings from a paper towel and painted it with glitter paint, glued those on. cant really tell that in the photo though, put a wire up his tush to hold him and voila. the peabee was born. I think it's cute and funny. hopefully the rest of you do as well. Or at least the majority. ;)

This is funny, original, crative and the presentation is state of the art - and not to forget: You went through a lot of work to achieve it...

In my opinion this should have had a ribbon or at least been in top 10.

This is very well done and funny. A clever idea that you executed incredibly well. Your title is over-stated You could have stopped at "Identity Crisis" and we would still get it.
No marks off for title though. The pic stands on it's own.

I have to give you a 10 just for creativity. Anyone that would take the time to make antenna for a pea should get a ribbon.

Lol, a funny shot. I don't like the blown out wings but everything else seem to be very good.

Great capture. Takes a patient photographer to get a still shot like this of a flying "bee" pea.

nice, crisp and genuinely silly. definitely getting an extra point for the labor intensive wardrobe and makeup for a pea.
