This may fit the theme "Small and Smaller" more than "Big and Little," but size is relative and, relatively speaking, the Monarch dwarfed the bee while the two shared a dahlia. D700, 180 macro, 1/800, f8, iso 1000. Suggestions, critiques and other comments welcome.

Lovely, Scott, and as you noted, it's all relative.  This fits the challenge admirably.

Scott, you've got a fine collection of matched colors here between the insects, dahlia, and background.  I agree that "big and little" is relative and these two insects fit the bill well.  I suppose you could call this coordinated nectaring....

Hey Scott,
I know you like to keep your secrets close to the vest, but how did you get these two to face in the same direction at the same time - Amazing ! Beautiful colors and detail,
Well done . . .  devil
