Pretty surprised to find this little bee snoozing in a dandelion.

Tech specs: Canon 40D (F13, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MPE-65mm macro lens (@3x) + a diffused MT-24EX (-1/3 FEC).

@ Brian: I think it is a Miner, but no idea on the exact ID.

Thanks Phil

Small, dark, and covered in fur. One of the hardest critters for me to focus the lens on -difficult to pick out the textures that tell me where the focus point is.
