Found in the beautiful Dominican Republic, this close-up shot highlights the intricate details of this fascinating creature. Its vibrant yellow antenna add a striking contrast to its colorful body.

Photographed by the USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab, an organization dedicated to studying bees and other insect species, this image captures not only the beauty but also serves as an important tool for identification and cataloguing purposes. The depth of field used in this photograph allows us to appreciate every minute detail - from its compound eyes to its delicate antennae.
