Black soldier flies can be found in a variety of urban, rural, and forested environments. Adults are often seen resting on the walls and windows of houses, tree trunks, garden plants in built-up residential areas, and farms where livestock and poultry are located.

As a black soldier fly, you're most likely to have a strong, resilient personality, ready for anything life throws your way. With a never-ending need for food and a flexible diet, you're probably not the pickiest eater, and enjoy trying any and all new foods when you can!

The eastern bumble bee's habitat is very general, including intensively farmed areas, suburbs, and highly urban areas such as downtown Chicago and Manhattan. They visit a wide variety of plants for nectar and pollen, and are so successful at pollinating flowers that the bee has been introduced in the western U.S. and overseas to help in crop harvests. As the common bumblebee in much of the eastern US, this bumblebee survives- and thrives- across a wide range of habitats.

As an eastern bumble bee, you're friendly, upbeat, and ready for any kind of spontaneous adventure. With a lust for life and a passion for others, your friends are probably likely to stick close and lean on you for help when needed. Bee-autiful!
