Carpenter Bee at 2.5x

Description

After getting into a fight with another larger bee this guy took a tumble in the gravel. I got him to climb up on a stick and I shot him while he was still stunned. Probably some of the best macro shots I'll get of this species, just wish it hadn't picked up so much junk from the fall...

Shot at about 2.5x with a Canon MPE-65mm macro lens.
