I love the foxy red colour on the thorax of this solitary mining bee 'Andrena haemorrhoa'. They nest in tunnels which they dig in the ground. The only telltale of their presence being a mini volcano of spoil around the exit hole!

This is fantastic. Looks almost, as if it would have pieces of glass on the back. Great job done with this.

Magnificent Steve. The colours are great, but for me it is the textures that you have caught especially well with this shot. The bee's fur is so sharp. Top class.

It's better to have a living dog, than a dead lion.
