Bumble Bee Leg


Bumble Bee Leg, originally uploaded by GeWilli.

Image collect this morning... the leg from a bumble bee. Amazing stuff on this. Only had a few minutes to check it out while tweaking the system. Definitely want to go back and explore more of this sample!

Fascinating picture! If you're taking requests, I'd like to see more details from the "business end" of the yellow jacket, see here:

Henry, i'd love to take a look at them, if I find one i'll see what I can do to get you an image of the stinger.

Or if someone has one and feels like sticking it in some alcohol (clear grain is best - everclear or other 190-200 proof stuff is idea) and delivering it, that would be best!

I'll put up the shot of the bumble bee stinger in a second.

how did you get him to hold so still? i assume no bumble bees were harmed in the making of this movie.

he committed suicide in the basement...

or i should say the bumble bee left his body for science!
