Lethal

I've not managed to catch one these teddy bear bees from the front before so I was quite surprised when I loaded this to see what I can only presume is it's tongue.  If it was pointing it at me all I can say is how rude! 

Yes, the macro was out because it was a grey miserable day.  I have spent most of the day sorting out Japan images and I have a way to go so my apologies now as I am behind in comments.

Just a bit of a crop on this but not much else.  The blue is from a plumbago species I have near the back door which thankfully on blipless days the bees are attracted to it.
