That looks like a bumblebee with fancy wings. Thanks for the neat shots of a critter I've never seen.

[julsoph]

Yeah, they're pretty strange!

[Knight]

They are quite active and hard to Capture good series Julsoph

Thanks Knight!

Strange looking thing... Great shots!

[Loupey]

Yup, that's what they are. They make for some nice exercise don't they?

I love shooting them too - can't resist I've seen some almost as large as my thumb and others which are tiny in comparison. Hope you come across some more of them.

Thanks scott-devon!
Loupey, they're definitely one of the more fun subjects for me. I remember seeing one that was pretty big...I mistook it for a hummingbird (hence the name...lol).
