Have been watching some bees visiting wildflowers and trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to get a photo of one extremely beautiful and fast-flying bee – a long-tongued Amegilla bee with a shiny blue abdomen..
As I was waiting patiently for the bee, I noticed some of the flowers twitching. A closer look revealed this unbelievable master-of-disguise!
Here is a closer look at this creature who is the emperor of the tiny world on the flowers… Even the eyes, and the grappling-hook fore-legs are beautifully sculptured to fit in with the sinister illusion
Love it! Where is this taken?
Hi – thanks for the comment. This was taken in Laikipia…
Amazing camouflage
