The honeybee is a hairy little creature, it even has hairs on its eyes! On top of its head are three small light sensors, and its large regular eyes give it nearly a 360° view, reaching well into the ultraviolet. With its antennae, it can detect pheromones, scents, humidity, CO₂ levels, and even electric fields. During flight, the front and back wings hook together to form one big wing. It carries pollen in special baskets on its hind legs, though this fellow seems to have spilled them! The notches in its forearms are used to clean the antennae. Shot from 111 perspectives, 16 focus stacked images each. Nikon D810 on cropped sensor, f/18, ISO 320, Tamron 90mm macro lens and 20mm extension, with Speedlights www.patreon.com/cw/DanyBittel
