OK the first one! Great shot the second.........how dare you!!! LOL The hair on my arms and neck stood up and my scalp is tingly!!! Great capture but no way you would ever catch me that close to a BEE!! I got stung on the top of my foot when I was younger and allergies to these buggers run in my family so I steer clear. At least I am not allergic to photos of them.......the just make me feel crawly.


Just for the record....if you photograph a spider please put it in the title<----phobia **shivers at the thought** BLECHCHCHCH!!!!

First and second pic are the same pic, just cropped differently. And I pass on taking pics of spiders because they are not my favorite choice of subjects, but I will make a note to place it in the subject... lol
