Bumblebees are harder to photograph than most birds and butterflies. To get one in focus in flight is a rare treat.

It turns out that the garden next door has flowers that attract not only butterflies, but bumblebees as well.

Bumblebees are big, and seem awkward sometimes, but this guy was a freekin’ acrobat.

He would do anything to get nectar.

He was hanging upside down.

Oh yeah, in flight, if not exactly in focus.

He has a face on the back of his head.

Nom nom nom nom nom…

Sluuuurp…

I got tired… and hungry… just watching him.

I guess that is some kind of moth, or small butterfly, but I got carried away.

And one bonus dragonfly!
