Up close and personal with a bumble bee.

Wow, Robert!!! You're right, I've never been that close to a bumble bee and wouldn't like to either if they were really that big. Some of those pics look like they came straight out of a horror film. s00k

Bet you had a lot of fun with them. Did you first take a photo and then put it under the USB microscope or did you actually get up to the bumble bee and take live shots?

Whatever, they are fantastic, well done! :gnthb::gnthb:

 

They are live shots, but the bee sadly was dead. Found it in the garden this morning

Ha-ha. I did wonder about that but since it had it's tongue out...............

All the same, great shots and a good laugh, too.

 

Utterly stunning Robert. :cl-p::okies:

 

Lovely close shots, Robert. We can often see dead Bumble bees at this time of the year, but I never thought about photographing one...

 

Great pics and very scary looking lol

 

I`m sure we are all very pleased that they are are friends and not a lot bigger !

 

Subject is a wasp tonight.

 

ohhhhh robert i couldnt get that close, looks very scary, great pics you got mind

 

Thanks Linda. The wasp pictures I`m sure could be exposed a bit better. I need to try out different background colours to improve the exposure of the subject. I shall get there.
I wonder what I can find today?

Ewwww the wasp makes me shudder lol

 

This chap has been resident on my tomato plants for a few days.
Time to get in close...

Great close-ups, Robert, and on the wasp ones, you can see where the term "wasp waist" came from.

Love the spider one, but then I love spiders, so I would.

 

Hi Robert, they are stunning!
