Hairy-footed bee (Anthophora plumipes)

... a male.

These bees are such a challenge to get decent pics of as they are so fast. These are the best I have managed so far over the last few years, although I think I just got lucky lol.

Nice shots - I like the faint glimpse of the wings in #2 against the green background

Thanks - yes, just shows how busy they are all the time lol, Im surprised they ever gather any pollen as they spend so little time on a flower.

Great shot Linda. DOF is great

Many thanks for looking and commenting. I think DoF is quite good because its the whole subject rather than just a few inches away - it makes all the difference.
