I have never thought of taking pictures at night, but this big bee called for it. I had to use flash to snap these photos because I didn't see it moved one bit when my lens almost touched it.
He hung on so tight on my zinnia flower and his body had some pollen on it! I am not a fan of using flash, but when the pictures didn't turn out, I just had to.
Early the next morning, I came out to check on the bee, and he was still there, hanging on! I had to believe that he chose to sleep there last night! They said that usually the wings are wet from the morning dew so they couldn't move. Sure enough, when the sunlight warmed him up, he left!
