Business end of a bumblebee

I keep playing with, and enjoying my latest lens, the JML 20X LWD microscope objective.

Or maybe even ELWD, given the comfortable 12 mm to put my lighting in between.

I've been searching for an affordable LWD for so long now, that ebay only recommending all the LWD's and ELDW's that are for sale. I think it's time to delete some cookies.

Above you see the stinger of a bumblebee. It lacks barbs like many other stingers, so it can sting more than once. Bumblebees are normally not aggressive, but will sting in defence of their nest, or if harmed.
