Thanks for the comments :)
Thought it worth posting the series- it's nomally how I shoot a bug like this when I'm not certain of how nervous it's going to be- just gradually moving in.

Thanks - can only assume it's a water drop from the earlier shower, probably a splash off another leaf.

Fantastic shots and great to see the sequence of moving in which I like to see.

I have these tiny bees in our garden, very cute little things.

Thanks Paul, Roy and Linda :)

Linda - think it's a Lasioglossum bee. Just a case of moving in on the bee taking shots as I go :)
