Very good photo - shows much detail. Looks quite large. The black color makes it look rather ominous. A stinger, but not aggressive? Maybe size gives it confidence. Keep up the good work! :-)

the bent antennae on this critter are cool. The same can be said of honey bees.

Most bees here are unaggressive. The wasps on the other hand are all psychopaths.

Joli macro encore, Jean-Claude, et ces variétés de bourdons ne doivent pas être fréquentes, joli trouvaille ! :)

The contrast between the mauve coloured Iris and the dark brown/blackish Bee is just wonderful Jean, also nicely cropped... Your Summer has arrived by the look of this capture

Une photo sublime et qui m'émeut beaucoup, car je pense que les plus belles photos qu'on fait sont des cadeaux qui nous sont réservés à titre individuel, car tout se joue dans l'instant présent là où l'on est et là où est notre attention . Tu n'as pas raté l'occasion d'une aussi belle union entre l'insecte et la fleur, et cette qualité artistique qui émane ici est la signature de ta sensibilité. Chapeau l'artiste !

We have them all around the house. You are right! They are not aggressive! I have had them land on me several times. Beautiful shot Jean_C. Great close up.
