Carpenter Bee on Wild Flower

in Beauty of Creativity16 days ago

This time, I decided to take its photos with a DSLR that could allow me to shoot from a distance. As usual, it's gone a bit longer, but at any moment, it came back again. That's was my chance to take its photo from very close range. Huff, after being done with a few clicks, it flew away, which I assumed it would come back. However, after a long wait, it did not show up. It moved quite a lot during midday, which made me wait for a little longer to have a good time for the shot. It is not like common bees, such as honeybees, bumblebees, or other kinds of bees that live in colonies; carpenter bees are not included in the social insect family. Xylocopa latipes, commonly called the tropical carpenter bee, is a species of carpenter bee whose habitat is often found in Southeast Asia.
