Hieroglyphic Nest in the Temple of Edfu, Egypt

Is it next to a bird? That looks like a bird.
Unbelievably, the hieroglyph next to the bird is a bee. It's like whoever designed it had never seen a bee, but had them described by someone who knew someone whose cousin was stung by a bee that one time.

Maybe bees looked different, 5000 years ago on a different continent?
Ha ha yes - bees with horns, what a thought!
These could be the antenae. I mean, carving into stone doesn't really lend itself well for high-res depictions.
Ah, that makes more sense actually, that thing definitely has more than 2 legs.
