what an interesting pattern it has on its rear end!
It is a fly that tries to look like a bee to scare preditors away. Since I am allergic to bees, it almost worked on me, but OC is on to it’s tricks!
And I couldn’t blieve how busily it kept workig and how close it let me get — though I was using the 55mm lens and am not quite as close as I seem.
Again your closeups are awesome! I saw your post about the ohotography class – it should be fun.
Lew — Thank you, and the photography class is one night a week and so far I am amazed at all I learned!
It is soooo good that it almost looks fake! Great job. Aloha, Keahi
yes, i know these are flies, quilly :o) you may remember i posted a couple on my blogs, too, but ours don’t have such striking patterns.
WOW! Just WOW!
