Bombus lucorum agg (m)

This bumblebee attracted my attention in New Ferry Butterfly Park because it is so bright yellow and furry. At one stage I thought this might have been B. jonellus. However, after a suggestion on iNat I worked through Steve Falk's photo collection and concluded it's a better match for the lucorum group.

 

The photo also provides evidence that reading through the EOS R autofocus manual and adjusting the response options is paying dividends.
