The Importance of Good Grooming

I was hoping to get some nice photographs of roses and bees, but the rose garden was under maintenance and the bees nowhere to be seen.

I did spot this little fella though and was amazed to see through the magnification of the lens that it was grooming itself – its back legs sliding down its back from behind the wings to its end. This photograph captured it best although it doesn’t show it as well as I would have liked.
