Burdock Landing - _TNY_3867

Not exactly sure about species here, but at least we can tell it is a female of some sort of leafcutter bee (Megachile sp.).

 

Megachilid bees are always cool, but as a photographer I like this shot primarily for how I managed to nail the focus on the face of the bee while it was still flying before landing on this woolly burdock (Actium tomentosum) in Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park.
