Dunkle Erdhummel (Bombus cf. terrestris) an Schmetterlingsflieder (Buddleja davidii)
2016's around and I hope y'all got a nice start into the new year. Having experienced until now only a distinctly unfotogenic pseudo winter (mostly dark, mostly rainy and almost entirely above freezing temperatures), let's start with some leftovers from last year. Here's one of my wide angle macro experiments, using my 18-55 kit lense coupled to a short extension tube. This pudgy bombus with it's decorative pollen hairdo made a bit of a hypothermic impression on that wet August day, clinging to it's summer lilac as if it were a lifeboat.
