Summer walk , and more bugs

Today while walking in the forest an extra large horse fly landed on my leg, it tried to get blood but this time I was much faster and caught it, it tried to run away frantically but my fingers are too strong to get rid of the grip. This damn insect is very annoying in the forest as well as near large farms where there are always big combines working, and tractors. They are as big as wasps, but luckily their bite does not cause severe allergies but it still hurts when it bites, for a moment it feels like someone has stuck a nail in my leg and then for 20 minutes the bite site itches after that the pain goes away, and there is still a strong red swelling above the bite... but nothing big.

But you don't end up in the hospital after being bitten what large horse fly, you can get bitten several times a day without having to go to the hospital Npr :))) , but with a wasp :(( , things can get really bad - just one sting can put you out of action for three days.... and if you're allergic, it's even worse.


I was use here my Sony A6000 and I was use here my Sony E 30 mm macro lens.

I had a nasty run in with a bee hive just the other day. I still haven't written a post about it yet, but I have few pictures to share. I only got stung about four times, but it was not a fun experience!

The photo is amazing! You can even see mesh eyes. This macro lens is really cool.
