As I approached my neighbor's Holly bush, the aroma from the small 
blooms was overpowering, and I noticed insect movement everywhere.  
While most were too small and too quick for me to capture an image, I 
found two that were willing to pose for me.  I moved in to minimum 
focusing distance and let AF do its thing.

This fly was soaking up the aroma.

There were several bumble bees or carpenter bees buzzing around, and I 
think this is one of them on a flower.  The angle makes identifying it 
difficult.
