2006_2077 Agapostemon Sweat Bee

            This little Agapostemon Sweat Bee was too intent on eating pollen - and getting covered with it - to notice my macro lens moving closer and closer to the Plains Prickly-pear Cactus flower. No doubt the cactus benefited from cross-pollination. Macro photography with insects and flowers on the northern prairie - first of three. 

Photographed in Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan (Canada). Don't use this image on websites, blogs, or other media without explicit permission ©2020 James R. Page - all rights reserved.
