Description
Actually captured this one with my 75-300. Starting to get the hang of shooting medium size insects with it. The longer working distance (than my couple inches I have with the macro) is very helpful.
This is an American Bumble Bee. Cute furry guys that are pretty big (about 1"+ in length) and very active. This one never stopped moving, rarely even landing on a flower. Just gathered its food while in mid-air!
I personally really love all the shades of yellow in it.
A thanks for all the great comments on my past several uploads, and thanks for looking here!

The clarity is outstanding! Gorgeous view! Stellar capture.
Wow great action macro! This bumble bee looks really full. Well done, love the bright colours.
Stunning shot! Very well done, Clive
Excellent image. The colors are great and the focus is pin sharp. I really like the DOF and the fact that you caught him in midair. I seldom try Bee shots because all I ever get in captures with their heads in the bloom and their butts in the air, lol. Thanks for sharing. Lee
very well done and hard to catch ;-)
Superb macro, excellent shot and even the better for catching it in mid air.
superbly done!!
A brilliant catch!!
Wonderful image! The surrounding flowers and lovely background DOF make a beautiful setting for this handsome fellow with his pollen covered legs. Great in flight capture!
Excellent timing and freezing of the subject.
What a crisp and clear image! Gorgeous colors and capture!
Amazing capture and great colors :)
Wonderful macro!
Beautiful...Great WORK!! ROBY
He is a gorgeous bee and really pack but still in the gathering mood. Excellent close-up.
Beautiful!
What a remarkable capture. Such a special catch. JDoc
outstanding macro work...
Great focus in action. Superb work
Great macro! One can nicely see the apparatus of the bee's leg where it collects pollen.
