That's the term for what you see here. The shooting star's flowers release pollen when the flower is vibrated by the whirring wings of the bumblebee when it lands and takes off. I caught this one in a prairie near my house.

Nikon D100, 80-400 VR lens.

Nice photo. Do you like the D100? I am thinking about getting one.
