Ginger Hair
by Ian Wolfenden
This is, I'm pretty sure, a Tree Bumblebee, seen feeding on lungwort flowers. The species appeared in England only a decade or so ago but is now quite common in the South and Midlands. It is distinguished by the mop of ginger hairs over the thorax; also the white tail ( which it shares with a couple of other species )

The only change I would consider would be to crop a tad of the open green space off of the top.
