I got lucky with this bee thanks to the cold and humid conditions, which slowed its movements down. It was practically sleepwalking and didn’t fly off, even with me holding the plant like in pic rel. I was able to focus using my free fingers on the same hand (my 30mm Olympus is short). It’s worth looking for critters early in the morning or in bad weather like that, as long as you can compensate with a flash in the bad light.

I don't think so?
