Choppers, Pt. 3 - _TNY_8461

This little guy on the knuckle of one of my fingers is a male coppice mining-bee (Andrena helvola).

 

Don't really know why he was so passive, but he was and let me take several closeups before flying away.

 

In this shot, it looks like it has a water drop on the left eye, but I have no idea where that would have come from.
