Absolutely astounding, Carol. That is the best bee-head photo I've ever seen. Such amazing macro details and the perfect in-your-face composition. What a big (no pun) plus with that little guy under there. I definately would have missed him as I was gawking at the BIG ONE. #8949098

Debra R. Harder October 05, 2010

OMG...this is something else!! The details are incredible, Carol! Love those amazing eyes. Did you ever see the movie, "Food of the Gods?" The insects somehow grow to be enormous and eat people (okay...so my taste in movies is a bit skewed...lol). This "Big Bee" looks a bit scary...at least to the little guy...I'm sure. Deb #8949597
