Day 68: Waterperry Gardens

More impressive an insect in large.

I had a very jolly afternoon at Waterperry Gardens with my mother; I've had a quick whizz through my photos and picked this for my blip, but will link to my other favourites tomorrow as I was pleased with my range of photos.
This was such an impressive bee; it was huge and very contrasty, and its pollen-coated face gave it a bright orange moustache.

My other photos from today are on Flickr here (or right from here).
