Hovering Furball (+3)

It's funny what you discover once you look closer. I never noticed before that we have some bees, hovering and looking similar to Hummingbirds.

 

Großer Wollschweber, Bombylius major

 

Shot with my Walimex 85/1.4 and extension tubes in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

See the comments for some more shots of the serie. Relatively easy to shoot, since these are no real macro but close-up shots. All images processed in Lightroom and cropped. The back-side of this insect looks interesting, too!
