Very Furry Bee, Pt. 2 - _TNY_9465
Really pleased with how this male European carder bee (Anthidium manicatum) on a lamb's ears (Stachys byzantina) was cool enough to allow me to get close enough to snap several shots with the Canon MP-E65 mm lens on the camera without flying away.
This was taken at 1:1 magnification which means the front of the lens was 101 mm / 4" from the bee's (cool-looking) eyes. Part 1 was significantly closer (2:1) and can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53969775482/
If you want to see more shots of this bee - probably my favourite insect - then I have an album with, at the time of posting, 81 shots of them here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/albums/72157667862870066/
