Green sweat bee (Augochlorini sp.) on New England Aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae). The off season brings great opportunity to go on a safari through my old photos. This one from September of 2014, when I first decided to take pictures of bees. For those with an interest in photography, this was shot with an old Panasonic FZ-50 point and shoot, which after attaching a 2.5x magnifying lens on the front of it and using felt as a diffuser for the built in flash, it was a beautiful macro rig for about $100. Although the camera was frustratingly slow, its small sensor allowed it to take photos with striking depth of field that would be impossible with a DSLR. Achieving deep depth of field can be the greatest challenge to a macro photographer. Note the ability of the camera to capture the entire width of the head and thorax all in one shot.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#augochlorini #greensweatbee #greenbee #symphyotrichumnovaeangliae #newenglandaster #bees #bugs #insects #macro #canonmacro #insects_of_our_world #mat_macro #kings_insects #found_on_flowers #macro_freaks #top_macro #macroclique #tgif_insects #macro_kings #photooftheday #beesofinstagram #pocket_insects #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #top_macro #macro_highlight #macro_spotlight #electric_macro #igmw_macro

Green sweat bee (Augochlora spp.) on chicory. With the onset of November it’s time to dig in the archives. This image was taken in Illinois in July of 2015. #augochlora #greensweatbee #chicory #wolfroadprairie

Green sweat bee (Agapostemon spp.). As the season creeps to an end all that seems to remain in the garden are these brilliant green bees. Not a bad way to end it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#greensweatbee #agapostemon #beeeyes #bees #bugs #insects #macro #canonmacro #insects_of_our_world #mat_macro #kings_insects #found_on_flowers #macro_freaks #top_macro #macroclique #tgif_insects #macro_kings #photooftheday #beesofinstagram #pocket_insects #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #top_macro #macro_highlight #macro_spotlight #electric_macro #igmw_macro
