•  Neutral great pic, but looks like max resolution 18 MP is downsized to 3,8. --Ivar (talk) 09:20, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

• Considering the small size of the animal, this lens probably reached its limit and couldn't go further. Thus, this is a crop which reduced the resolution, IMO, rather than a downsizing -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:43, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

• I doubt that, because macro lens (MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo Lens) was used. --Ivar (talk) 12:09, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

• You might be right, this lens can increase 5x, sorry. More powerful than I supposed. Then the image can be downsized or cropped, I don't know -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:08, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment If this is a 'lab' photo, whcih I am guessing it is, the description should say so. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:34, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

• The Italian description also said that the bee was found in a fallen tree, but nothing was said about the lab. It seems that the photographer has not been around for a while. --IamMM (talk) 11:26, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
