Few more run of the mill bugs

A couple of macros I took the other day. All hand held using the on-board flash for some lighting on a couple, I think. I really need a tripod and good flash. Hope you enjoy - they're pretty basic.

1.) Bumblebee working on a flower.

2.) Not sure how this dead bee ended up stuck in this position but I thought it was interesting...

I like #1 and #3. Good work, sir.

Just a heads up, a SB-700 with the OEM diffuser and a Rogue Flash Bender (large) work really well with the Tamron 90mm.

Thanks for the comment and suggestion, FantasticG. I took some shots today that made me realize that there is actually a yellow spider eating the dead bee in the second shot. You can make it out if you look real close. Wish I would have noticed that when I took the shots because I could have gotten some better ones. D'oh!
