Yay, Bombylius flies are very fun.
And a male Andrena with his bushy mustache.

Great shots!
Thank you! And also for confirming the Andrena ID, which I wasn't sure about.

Found a bit of time late afternoon to shoot bees. Tried three different lenses.

An assassin bug, a creature to make you glad to be big.

Mark, glad see you over here. I'm surprised you had time for any photography with all you have on your plate right now. Nice shots of the bees!

The assassin bug, especially in the third image down, is the winner in that group.

Bee-flies and actual bees are about 90% of all bugs I am seeing these days. Pretty happy to have got an "action" shot of a bee-fly - as opposed to one at rest. (X-posted to K-3 Sample Shots.)
