"Fiddle-de-Dee" is a whimsical illustration by Scott Gustafson, featuring a bee and a butterfly getting married, officiated by a praying mantis. The scene is set in a garden, with pink flowers in the background. The bride, a butterfly in a white dress and flower crown, holds a bouquet of purple blossoms, while the groom, a bee with a top hat and bow tie, clasps her hand. The mantis, dressed in a white robe and holding a book, stands behind the couple. This charming piece is a delightful example of Gustafson's signature style, combining humor and heart in his depictions of animals with human-like qualities.
