Indeed. And I learned that there are black bees...that look like ants with wings. Go figure!

Nice macro....a type of Halictidae, a bee.

This is a bee? Never would have guessed that (although the eyes didn't look ant-like). Clearly I need to update the name!

This is lovely! I was instantly drawn to the pale colors. Love the focus, and the environment itself is striking!

Thank you! I was actually focusing on the prickly pear when this little guy showed up and had to quickly adjust the focus before he flew off.
