The insect ( and spider !!! ) world never ceases to intrigue me. I caught this little lady leisurely having a drink of nectar, then realizing she was only holding on by 1 foot. Thanks for peeking.

Bees are very agile insects as this one proves.

Thanks for the kind words Dewey. The K-3 and 100 macro WR + 1.4x rear converter make a wonderful combo.
Having a cooperative little model helps too !!
