I REALLY appreciate all comments, but... perhaps glasses are in order in this case, vawendy? *friendly smile*

For Tanguera, in addition to the two large eyes, "bees have three simple eyes that are called ocelli (singular: ocellus), near the top of their head. Ocelli are simple eyes that do not focus but provide information about light intensity."
The other two are farther up this bee's head forming a triangle with the red one you see in the middle (they're all red on this one).

quote from me: "ewwww" hehehe. I think that if this were part of an insect-lovers calendar they would looooooove it! I'm such a bug phobe - I cannot look any more lol. But awesme macro!
Seems a little too close to me. I'd be interested to see what it looked like a little farther out. (It was odd, but I had to move back to really focus on it. )
wow, that's almost electron microscope status! great job...but man they are ugly :) excellent macro... hope he/she doesn't have any blind spots with all those eyes (OK, enough with the jokes!) 9
