The right compound eye of a sharp-tailed bee (Coelioxys sp.). I have always been enamored by the eyes of these bees - their green color, heavy patterning and hair - yes, hair! The little yellow dots are pollen grains from a cosmos flower. ~~~~~~~~~#coelioxys #sharptailedbee #bugeyes #canonmacro #canonmpe65mm #mycanonstory #mat_macro_bees https://www.instagram.com/p/BophiebhCV4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e68yjyz1yi5x

Sharp-tailed bee on Douglas aster. An image shot in wide angle. The flowers, so close together to our eyes, are given some distance as if being viewed from the perspective of being tiny, like a bee. ~~~~~~~~#wideanglemacro #coelioxys #cuckooleafcutterbee #sharptailedbee #astersubspicatus #douglasaster #natgeoyourshot #mat_macro_bees #laowa15mmmacro https://www.instagram.com/p/Brc69w1BdpL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gtyx9estw9c3
