Nice.
I like the colours.
I also like how the bug is balanced on top of the flower.
Quite delicate in a way.

Maybe a Carpenter Bee? They look like bumblebees. Then there's the Hover Fly, which can mimic the Bumble Bee, too. *random factoid of the evening*

It doesn't take a fast camera to catch a still bee/fly.

Imagine having five chirping male crickets in your room when your trying to sleep at night. Ah, the joys of owning tarantulas. True, the chirping is cute and pretty but not at 4am, let me tell you! XD
