I love the foxy red colour on the thorax of this solitary mining bee 'Andrena haemorrhoa'. They nest in tunnels which they dig in the ground. The only telltale of their presence being a mini volcano of spoil around the exit hole!
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Magnificent Steve. The colours are great, but for me it is the textures that you have caught especially well with this shot. The bee's fur is so sharp. Top class.
