Monday animal photography: Violet carpenter bee
Another example of how fantastic nature is: a "simple" black bee... with violet-metallic wings of astounding beauty !
This beautiful being is a Xylocopa violacea specimen, commonly known as violet carpenter bee.
The deep deep violet looks amazing against the yellow. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Sempre a aprender, não fazia ideia que eram abelhas!
Sim... estão mais próximos das abelhas do que dos abelhões ou "zangões", geralmente do género Bombus ;)
I would never have guessed, that this huge black flying thing is actually a bee - never seen such a bee before. Nice shots, @davidgermano 😊
Thanks Johann @johannpiber :)
Cheers!
You're welcome, @davidgermano :)
