The light for our macro session on Tuesday at Paxton was just about ideal - bright but with some light cloud to diffuse the sunlight. As usual, the daisies were attracting lots of insects while the spindle bushes were full of Ermine Moth caterpillars walking (or hanging!) the tightrope threads. Last image - 'show a leg' was an obliging Honey Bee that lifted its leg to show the diagnostic corbicula (pollen basket) which occurs in Apini (honey bees), Bombini (bumble bees), Euglossini (orchid bees), and Meliponini (stingless bees) but not in Andrena (mining bees) etc.
