Great shot. Almost as if it was real.
That's a fly? It sure does look like a bee. It's an awesome shot I must say :0
lady - and why would you think it wasn't real?
it's a hoverfly on a sanvitalia blossom(all fairly tiny), and the orange in the background is from portulaca (moss rose), and the whole thing was most definitely taken by me and cropped before posting to remove elements that didn't fit
thom - it certainly is - and a certain biologist can confirm it for you. it doesn't sting but its similarity with bees or/and wasps (called mimicry) works as a (fake) warning to potential predators
Fantastic shot. I absolutely love the colors. The close up is stunning. As usual, I am jealous.
cropping did have an effect on the quality but i'm still quite pleased with it. tx :)
