Tiny Planet, Pt. 3 - _TNY_0394

On the right, a very worn antler moth (Cerapteryx graminis).

 

On the left, his new best buddy, a European honey bee (Apis mellifera) doing the same thing - gathering nectar/pollen from the darker variety of great masterwort (Astrantia major).

 

This is the third shot I took in a row of the same flower. First, just the bee was on the flower (www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51222122947/) and then the moth landed and the bee took off (www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51580625922/) and then the bee decided it was probably safe to come back and landed again - which is what we see here.
