Emerging Blue Mason Bee X

After months of laying dormant this Blue Mason Bee chews its way out of its cocoon. Osmia Caerulescens, male.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (Almost 3x) + a diffused MT-26EX RT (E-TTL metering with -1/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI, Denoise AI, and Clarity in that order.
