Description
While waiting to help finish setting up a hot air balloon a couple of days ago, I noticed this little bee hovering around my arm. Instead of chasing him away I grabbed the camera. The result came out "interesting". 26 Jun 2008, Trichenricht Germany.

Wow - how did you manage to get such a great closeup. Awesome detail - you can clearly see the veins in the bee's wings and of course the hair on the skin too. (So which body part was this little guy on?) Amazing photo!

Hey ! Hey !! This ain't a bee, it's a hoverfly !!!! They're harmless suckers....

Hello BloomingFlower. Hoverfly it is. I always knew them as sweat bees, but with your help and some extra info from Wikipedia I've learned something new today. (harmless suckers...) lol
