Hello Mr. Grasshopper.

Up close and personal, very well done.

In an attempt to lure butterflies with bananas, I have succeeded in attracting various kinds of flies and a small village of bees. When I finally get a sharp bee in flight it will show here. You know, using the macro lens and its depth of focus, blah.

Looks like a fancy mosquito, anyone know?





Try focusing at catty corners with a macro lens, lol.

I would say with the stripped body and clean antenna (not fuzzy midge fly) it's a Skitter kill it

Bees are hungry, so pruning will have to wait til later

These black ants are large, some of them are up to 10mm long ( 3/8" ), but they have proven hard to photograph.
They just don't stop, its hard enough keeping them in the viewfinder let alone in the focus zone .

Great capture WEV. The detail on the bee is very crisp and clear. Nice work

Regardless of the obstacles you had to overcome the end results speaks loudly to your abilities. This is one great shot; the segments in the antennae, the fine hairs on the body. Very well done.
