Amazing (to me) that insects can survive at this altitude. I wonder what special adaptations are required...

C&C welcomed.

    Wonderful capture. Must be some solitary bees around too.

    Thanks, Brian. I did see several bee species, but I was actually quite surprised by the relative paucity of insects up in the mountains.

    Here's another of the local inhabitants I did come across.
