Description I found this honeybee right after a light rain shower, and being able to get a tight portrait like this one is the reason I go looking after the clouds let up. I used another flower as a backdrop for the flash (thanks Mark! )

Tech Specs: Canon 1D MKIII (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + an MPE-65mm macro lens (@5x) + an MT-24EX macro twin flash (-1/3 FEC).

Most people are terrified of insects but you make them beautiful in every shot you take.

Lol, it looks like 99% of the comments on this are about the hairy eyes Amazing photo...
Isn't it funny how we invent alien races and strange creatures from other worlds? Look at that thing! Our animals are strange enough! lol
