Common Carder Bee - November Theme Challenge

I was actually trying to photograph a hairy caterpillar when I heard the loud buzzing very close by. I couldn't see this bee at first, but when I did I was absolutely delighted. Not only is it the first of November, but the Lobelia has obviously still got enough nectar to attract the insects! This bee is one of my favourites for it's colour and because it reminds me of when Joseph first got interested in insects and particularly bees. Looks good LARGE.
