Field Notes

Description:

There was a bunch of these bees sleeping really far into this plant. There was around 5.
I was walking around at dew time looking for bugs and insects too photograph. These were the last insects I found on that night. Their fur was soaked and I did not want to disturb the bees on this plant so I sneakinly got a little snapshot of this one.

Habitat:

Woodland, Flower stem

Notes:

Nikon D300s, 12mm Extension Tube, 20mm Extension Tube, 36mm Extension Tube, Reversed Nikkor 50mm 1.4G Prime, SB-900, Gary Fong Light Sphere
