Damn -- that's a close up!!!! Where is the bee at -- on a car???
Kat W. Oct 24, 2009, 11:49am EDT
Yep, on our car.

You're good and creative.

Maybe I should have gotten some shots of the japanese beetles that drove me nutz earlier this week by swarming all over EVERYTHING!! They were swarming in St. Louis, Mascoutah, & Belleville and were hard to shake off of your clothes when you came inside.
Kat W. Oct 24, 2009, 11:55am EDT
Kinda late for Japanese beetles isn't it?
Carol V. Oct 24, 2009, 11:57am EDT
Temps warmed up earlier this week and they came out in swarms to find new warm places to live. Evidently they don't hibernate well according to the article in the paper.

Maybe he was in love with his reflection.
Kat W. Oct 24, 2009, 3:28pm EDT
That is a posibility. They are usually very aggressive but this one allowed me to put the camera within a couple of inches of his space. It must like glittery paint.

That time of year for the aggressive and sneaky yellow jacket. Working the last of the blooms. Looking for something to post I thought this was a great bee shot...but do you see the yellow jacket hiding between the petals and the greenery to the bottom right. Happy, cheerful yellow flowers at Birmingham Botanical Gardens
