Moss Carder Bee, Cleat


We've seen a few moss carder bees this week, best identified by their rusty backs and yellow abdomens, but this one at Cleat today was the best so far. It was a large insect, we wondered if it might be a queen, and it was clinging onto the flowers for dear life in the teeth of 45mph winds today! Even more remarkably, I managed to get a few photos that were in focus, the flowers were shaking at speed in the wind.
