Description
Bee wings -- God's original filigree! This diligent fellow may have escaped from a spider's web. Look closely and you can see tattered edges and strands of the silken web. Still, he is undeterred and hard at work.
The image's color was modified digitally and grain was added in Silver Efex. I hated to lose the gorgeous purple of the scabiosa, but it had to go!

Beautifully done, Caitlyn! It looks like this bee has worked its wings right off! a true gem of nature's splendour :))

Thank you very much, Connie! I think from the silky strands on those jagged edges that he survived an encounter wth a spider's web.
