Kefalonia Bees
« on: July 20, 2012, 01:37:55 PM »
They obviously like big flying insects in Kefalonia as here is another one that apparantly is a bee

This one seemed to be a bit dozy on the ground


with a nasty looking set of pincers on the front


plus a couple of smaller bees

Another great set Fud.  If you are having trouble with image sizing in flickr, give photobucket a try.  It does not alter the image size you upload....john
