That is one treacherous looking insect. The triple stinger in photo #2 is too much!

takis63 · 11-10-2014, 09:58 AM

Beautiful

**TER-OR** · 11-10-2014, 02:20 PM

Stunning shots. I've got some in hover mode, since they kind of patrol.

They're cool bees, even if they're invasive here in North America (at least the European wool carders are invasive)

Thanks ! On my side that was the 1st time I saw this species...

johan kruger · 11-10-2014, 09:36 PM

nice shots. I also not seen a bee like this. What ring flash did you use? Just watch out for the highlights on the last bee shot

madhurvyas · 11-13-2014, 02:03 AM

Sigma macros are very good, good shots

Thanks, I used the Pentax ring flash... (AF 160 FC)

Gorgeous photos of a really ugly bee! Nice work.

Whoa! That is the best DOF I've EVER seen in a macro shot! Superb! Amazing clarity and sharpness! Bravo!

It's stunning...

**Kerrowdown** · 11-30-2014, 03:36 PM

Good grief... that's some super sharp imagery, well done indeed.

Nicolas514 · 11-30-2014, 03:40 PM

Beautiful and scary sharp! Looks like a mean beast to me...

these may look mean, but they aren't, not like wasps...
