Nice shot. I've gotten a few close ups with the help of a zoom lens. I've always had a problem with them making nests in my back yard. There's usually one inside the grill every spring and there are several other places I always have to check to make sure they aren't building.
Amazing insect shadow! But this looks like the Darth Vader of bugs!!

ReplyDeleteNice capture though! YAM xx
Definitely like something from science-fiction. It's amazing how much we can crop images nowadays without too much compromise of quality.
ReplyDeleteI like bees. I don't like wasps, hornets, yellow jackets. This guy is colorful!

ReplyDeleteThey don't sting unless you upset them
ReplyDeleteYou got a nice shot out of it.
I'm with you! From a distance is best.
