Sounded like a Children's story Sandi. Both the characters in the story look very sharp and beautiful. IT looks as though the grasshopper is giving the bee a tongue lashing and the bee is bending his head in shame. Wonderful capture!

Beautifully captured Sandi. Looks like a turf war is about to ensue and my money is on the hopper.

Hoppy and Sting are about to set out on a wonderful adventure, Tigz. The children will love the story.
What a great shot to get the imagination juices flowing.
Wonderful camera work.

I think the bee is a friend of the grasshopper and the grasshopper only like the petals and not the sticky pollen.So the grasshopper keeps a eye out for danger and the bee cleans up the pollen.Great looking photography with stunning colours and beautiful sharp detail my friend.

Wow - quite a capture to find the two so close together Sandi - I'm guessing the bee flew off for other nectar elsewhere.

They have their own priorities. The best way to achieve their goal is to ignore each other: live and let live.

Wonderful post, Sandi!

Great spot Sandi with wonderful dof and colour. Not sure that I like the touch of Orton though.

Very super shot Sandi. The color of the flowers in the background really enhance the insects. I like that you chose a wide view.

A good close up on the pair, Sandi. Lovely colours and lighting in the photo. Some cropping for composition wouldn't hurt. If it were me I would crop in from the right side.
