for starters i think it's enough if you have a chance to take a good look at it for yourself :)
I guess it will be some of the next years since today haven't seen any :/ starting to lose my faith in the possibility of taking the right photo of it!!
Hehe! :) You'll spot it when the time is right :)
Well I know that is sounds crazy but I was already some time (like for 2 h daily) trying to focus its butt but 1st of all can't find where they nest and cause of that i have to wait for them... maybe is a bit brownish, but all the others are normaly colored what ever that color is...so I don't know, if they are colored (to me it doesnt seem really brown can be any other color also) it is so under that I can make a normal photo ;/ ahhh
ok. when you do see them try to be focused on it's rear end :) i still still see a hint of brown on it and i sooo want to know which species is this bumblebee now!! :)
believe me is not brown :/ I haven't seen them today cause I didn't go in the same area, but I will tomorrow! this is a real mystery...
i know that! i've come across with some of them and they were all so quick&hard to catch on camera. will try too look it up, but i don't why i see it has brown end :/
and it's is so difficult to take a photo of them....they are much more vivid than the others :/ I'm going today again on that meadow to wait for them
100% sure I am trying to figure out is already some time, it really drives me crazy :D
you sure? it looks to me like he has brownish end ...
Oh, I somehow didn't check your comment, great website that one, but what is the problem with my bumblebee is the distance between two yellow lines, and that one on your link has a yellow "butt" while mine has this yellow part up and under is a black end :/
maybe Bombus pratorum? http://myworldmycameraandme.com/page17.h...
really? which ones do you suspect could be the right one? will check it out atm for you :)
Tnx but the identification is driving me crazy, is over a year that I've been trying to figure out it name....ah well...patience! :)
nice spotting! :)
