I'm with ya Brian, once you figure it out, htey have to be a certain size, but it will tell you when they're too big.  Look on the top of message box and click on the picture of the mountain, 2 icons to the right of the smily face.  Good luck, took me a while too, and still can't figure it out on some photos.

Went to the Los Angeles Natural History Museum last Saturday. First time I recall seeing a metallic green bee. Rebel T5, 1/250sec. f5.6/ 100mm macro IS USM ISO 100. Just did a tight crop on this photo, no other adjustments.

Nat Geo had an article last month w/ 300 different kinds of bees, this was their headliner, it was the 1st time I had ever seen such a thing, this is very cool. Theirs was a head on shot so couldn't see the rest of the body, what a beautiful creature, thanks for sharing this. Do you remember where they're from?  You are really enjoying that new lense aren't you.  Ok you are convincing me,this is really great. Esp for f5.6, your DOF is really pretty good for that low of a setting, I'm impressed w/ that lens too. (and your picture)
