Re: Sweat Bees in a Sunflower
Very nice shots John I also have the Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II L a very nice all around nature walkaround lens. I tend to use mine with the 1.4x III extender on. Good for birds, butterflies and dragonflies.

Re: Shield Bug eggs and nymphs
There were about 11-12 nymphs clustered on the other side of the leaf to the eggs but yeah they hung around a while after hatching,I had thought they'd disperse quickly.

Shield Bug eggs and nymphs
Shield Bug Eggs and Nymphs by Aves Lux, on Flickr
Shot at 3x with a Canon R5 and MP-E65mm.
I missed the actual hatching and there seems to have been a moult already judging by the nymph size and old exoskeletons.

Re: Queen Red Tailed Bumble Bee
Wonderful shot and I like the tight framing! IMHO it would be better if you turned it to the right. I know you probably posted it as you took it, but there's nothing in the frame to force the orientation of the subject and I keep turning my head to look at the photo. Honestly I had it flipped to th...
