Hi Alan ,Nice image! I use my 24-120mm as a "macro" lens, too. It don't believe it's a bumble bee, though. It has "fly eyes". Perhaps some type of drone (hover) fly. ?
Appreciate your feedback ,It's not a bumble. They are hairy with 4 wings (they join them together when flying). Perhaps some kind of hoverfly?
Many thanks for the clarification and supporting reference material.I believe it is a European Drone Fly. https://www.naturespot.org.uk/species/eristalis-arbustorum
I certainly did bumble on this one Charlesbumbled on the bumble, but a wonderful photo! Nice sharpness from the full open zoom
