Quite a nice series of photos on an intriguing subject
This face shot is my favorite, followed closely by the one on the far right. Good going, Donna!

Ron...
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the series. Taking them was a real trip, especially after I realized the subject. There are so many bees, wasps, and flies in my Aster 'jungle', it gets hard to navigate around all of them.
