Successful Species - _TNY_3072
This little beaut is a female European wool carder bee (Anthidium manicatum) on lamb's-ear (Stachys byzantina).
It's a species found in large parts of Europe and has actually migrated (with human help) to North America and can be found in large parts of that continent as well.
It might be my favourite bug of all to shoot and I have to date posted between 50 and 60 shots of them on Flickr so I created an album with those here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/albums/72157667862870066
