The USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab has posted hundreds of incredible high resolution macro photos of bees and other insects to Flickr. The images, taken by Sam Droege, are part of the lab’s mission to survey America’s native bee species. Here are five very interesting bee faces (plus one cricket.)

I know you’ll want to see many more. Here’s the Flickr page.

This one is a cricket, not a bee. Photo credit: Sam Droege/USGS
