To be honest, I rarely see such a bee fly (Hemipenthes velutina) around. It was only single bee fly was spotted there which later known as solitary fly. It does not like to hang up in group, preferred to be alone on the twig. So, when I was about to leave the hunting spot due to the dark, I noticed this bee fly calm there. By the time I spot it perching on the dried twig, I managed to take shots with my smartphone plus an external macro device but when I was trying to take shot, it finally noticed me and flew away, in the next minutes it came back with calmness. Sometimes I failed to catch but some other time I successfully captured them. While being on the shot, I never thought that they would sting me, and thank for being friendly with me. There are many types of bees around here, and I think this bee is more friendly than others. Indeed, I had to spend much time hunting and waiting for them to calm, that was the efforts to gain better results.
