Mostly insects (from Mexico)

I am not sure if the are macro, more close ups I think, so I will put these bees, butterflies, ants, and spiders here. I took them when I was on a recent trip to Lake Chapala (Ajijic), Mexico.

Bee Butt



This is a really cool solitary bee that I chased around the garden for days. I didn't get a really good shot, but here it is.



This bee lives in the belly button of this statue. I realized too late though because it was the night that I left so didn't get a good photo of that either, but if you look in the belly button you might see a shiney triangle (that is its head).



Honey Bee










These ants were great they had a trails that were probably 60-70 feet long.



Thanks for looking.

Hi there Spechtal, I really like the image of the Bee flying towards the flower, that is a very very cool BUTT SHOT indeed

You a little bit out with your focusing, and over exposure,
which I am sure you can overcome.

Those little ants sure can carry an incrediable load on their backs.
It would be quite a sight to see them in action.

Interesting series .... thanks for sharing .... Skippy

I LOVE the ant picture! They are fascinating little creatures .

I also nearly shat myself with the spider. I have snakes, lizards, frogs, wouldn't bat an eye twice at any sort of cockroach or scorpion, I've gone swimming with alligators, but get those big hairy spiders AWAY!

Thanks Skippy and Atomicjade.

Yes, I do need to work on the exposure and focus
