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 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.
