Very Furry Bee, Pt. 3 - _TNY_9469
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 1.8:1 magnification, but part 1 is even closer here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53969775482/
Part 2 was taken at 1:1 and shows the entire bee here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54050084899/
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, 88 shots of them here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/albums/72157667862870066/
