It was originally on my towel while tanning and I grabbed my phone to take a pic. After the towel pic, it hopped onto my hand right between my middle and ring fingers. The problem was that was my phone hand, so I could feel it moving around, but I couldn't actually see it. I was hoping it would fly away, but it just stayed there. I carefully took my phone with my other hand and it thankfully started walking down my finger. I think it was after my sweat.

Not too long ago I had a bee hitch a ride indoors on my sock, and I almost didn't notice. Eventually it crawled onto my shoelaces so I kind of let it down gently. It was more perplexing than terrifying, but I hope he's ok.

I have to wonder if bees know how much power they hold when they're just chilling there stealing sweat from an enormous being.
