Lovely flowers whose colours add to the impact of this image. But is it a fly. I count 6 legs. Like.

To Maranatha: I believe this is a bumblebee. I shot about ten shots of the same species this week.

Thanks for the Id Go4IT yes that's exactly what it is I should have realised it had to be some kind of bee as it was pollinating the flower birds is more of my line not so much insects
