I don't remember ever getting this many shots of different bugs that I actually felt were worth the effort of processing in one morning..















LOL I'm calling this a Grandpa Bee.

I have been shooting those same flowers for a week now and today was the first time that I that I saw the yellow and red wasps. you never know. I have been putting a little sugar syrup on the flowers and it seems to attract the bugs and helps them to settle down on a flower. Now if I could only make the wind stop blowing.

Thanks bogeyeliot, This is a stacked lens setup that I am using and I am still struggling with the flash a little bit, I guess that it all takes time to get used to.. I have a lot of shots that are either burned out or too dark, but I am getting more keepers than I expected so all is good.

You Go Blurry!
I'm well behind you on the learning curve but I can see progress, one bee-hair at a time 8-)

The red and black one was pretty cool too, I could not get around to where I could get a profile shot on him, I always had something blocking the shot.. but he was pretty neat, I had a pic of his body, but it does not show his head.
