Description
The European Wool Carder Bees are still sleeping in my Lavender. It's so warm, at sunrise, that all I have to do is look at them and they get active. This one is female -their antennas only have 12 segments (males have 13).

Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to just under 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -1 FEC). This is a single frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order.
