WTF? Crazy photo of a Robo-bee!?!

Kinda creepy, and sinister!

Photoshop?

ok, a spider is killing a bee..... and?

I'm pretty sure that is just a spider tearing the bees head off.

Robo bees? If the bee was a robot I don't think a spider would be chomping on it.

Yeah, like I said... something, undoubtedly, perfectly normal, but do look at the details.
There is NO viscera, no goo at all... just a hole that looks very much like torn metal.

and what do you think should be apparent? spurting blood? a spinal column? the spider has poked a leg through the bee's eye, and another is inserted at the margin where the carpace is sgmented...you adjusted the contrast to get the "metallic look"...if you look at the leg penetrating the back of the head, you will see that the leg has seperated a wedge of the carpace.... it's a bee, being killed by a spider....

Although I think this is perhaps a bee-mimic fly (by the eye shape and the fact they touch in the middle)

If anything, that spider looks more 'robotic' than the victim.

:agriope:

That's a real bee. The metal piece you have mistaken for his head is actually his helmet. I believe all worker bees are required to wear helmets now after the 9/11 attack.

Haha. You like that SouthernLight?

But really that is a very cool picture. Do you have any of a Praying Mantis up close?

Try this one... Not super closeup, but fairly nice catch.

Although I think this is perhaps a bee-mimic fly (by the eye shape and the fact they touch in the middle) I don't see anything out of the ordinary. I enlarged the image and it looks like there is a space between the head and thorax, and the pedipalp (those two little 'legs' on the spider) happens to be gripping that space, with the other one resting on the eye. Or the mandibles pierced the area behind the eye, and at the time the image was taken, you can see the fangs imbedded at the front of the eyes (ew!)

Oh, I like that. He doesn't seem very green except his bottom two legs.

You've got yourself a new fan. Please put up more pictures!

You are not much of a insect observer, are you?

Insects DO LOOK LIKE ROBOTS. They have an external skeleton and all the joints are visible. You just noticed that because of the close-up photo. Please spend some more time observing the world around you instead of only paying attention to man-made inventions and gadjets.

Thank you!

Just wait til you get old deary! There are surprises around every corner.
