Seeing a carpenter bee standing in one place
good night all friends, best wishes to all of us
Today I will again try to share some photos of insects that I found yesterday morning when I was at a guest house in one of the cities in my area, fortunately I always carry a macro lens so I can take several pictures of a type of insect that I have never seen before.
when I was outside and taking some macro photos of wild flowers, I saw an insect flying very fast and very high, but what was unique was that wherever it flew it would stop in one place, and when it was there it could be seen like a king insect
because this is not my area, I have to be a little wary of this insect, I'm afraid it will attack me, the body texture is similar to a honey bee, but the size is slightly larger, all the fine hairs are black, the eyeballs are green and have black spots, apparently after I search turns out this is a carpenter bee, which belongs to the species Xylocopa latipes, the color of the wings is also very shiny
you can see in some of my shots, it looks very scary doesn't it, even though it flies several times but as I said earlier it will return to standing in that place in a different position
Those are some photos that I can share, even though they look scary, I hope you like them.
wow, I was impressed with the iridescent wings. I must confess that I am very interested in macro photography, I would like to practice it at some point in my life!
Excellent shots 😍
Thank you for your kind comments, yes you should try it. You only need to prepare a macro lens and you can immediately try it on small objects. Good luck.
wow how beautiful the black bee is, but very scary :)
😃😃, you can hide behind me
I would be afraid too, but worth a try as the photos are great.
