Busy Bee

I really enjoyed doing the macro shot yesterday so thought I would see what else I could get today.

I took loads of photos of a spikey orange and black caterpillar but when I loaded them onto my laptop I realised they all showed him eating an aphid.  I know this is what nature is all about but it looked a bit disturbing magnified through the macro lens!
 
No idea what sort of bee this is but it looks much less disturbing than the monster caterpillar shot!  I really need to get a book on insect identification!

We are going away for a few days so I will back blip when we get back.
