Unknown photobomber

on my frangipani.

I got such a fright when this critter landed, that I lost focus. He was off soon after.

Type of bee? Pretty frangipani

[winghong_ho]

Beautiful capture.

[Susan Wakely]

A great incidental capture.

[Kathy A]

Lovely shot! It looks like some kind of bee but then what would I know 😂

[moni kozi]

Still a beautiful closeup including the dark knight of pollination

[Liz Gooster]

Great ‘in the moment’ capture. And woah, @monikozi, love your dark knight of pollination phrase!

[Bucktree]

Beautiful flower and capture. Good timing catching the little bugger doing it’s pollination dance.

[Brian]

Splendid catch

[Lou Ann]

Great capture. Your flowers are beautiful.

[Valerie Chesney]

This 'bug' makes your flowers look even more beautiful!

[Wendy Stout]

Beautiful… I adore the fragrance of frangipani 🌸

[katy]

Your flowers are gorgeous, but that animal looks huge! I can see how you would lose focus on what you were doing.

[Pam]

Beautiful flower, and intersting bee. It looks like a black honey bee.

[Renee Salamon]

He’s really big relative to the flower - great you got the shot

[Mags]

Just lovely!

[Elisa Smith]

It's a Bee day! Or is that a wasp? Such beautiful frangipani's, I bet they smell wonderful.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great timing and so pretty.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great timing and capture!

[Carole Sandford]

Still a great capture!

[Heather]

A beautiful shot, Diana! Maybe not what you intended, but it's lovely. Great light, colours, and dof! Fav

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Nice

This is so nice with your little photo bomber. I think it’s a lovely shot with an added bonus.
I had a similar fright a couple of weeks ago when I was taking a picture of a house. I was standing by a wall when my screen suddenly went black as a cat had jumped up onto the wall in front of me. It took me a second to realise what it was!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Instead of a black sheep in the family, he's the black bee of the family. Yes, I'd be wary of him too- usually the ones with a lot of black have quite the sting! It's a really good shot though!
