The honey bees finally discovered my crimson clover and are now visiting the back yard. The paper wasps too... taken with the Sony RX10M4.

The 1st pics great, whats the flower he's snacking on? What does this shot look like in a rectangle crop?

Ps. Edit Doh. Scratch that, its crimson clover i re-read the post.

Thanks! I have lots of them in the yard. Waiting for the butterflies to show up.

Thanks! I'll revisit it and try a rectangle. The image is a crop from a larger image.

PRIMO set of close-ups...very well done

Nice bug shots. Was this with the bare RX10 IV? I have used that camera for bugs and found it a bit of a challenge. A closeup aux lens helped.

Thanks! Yes, just the bare camera without any attachments, and a lot of patience.
