Female Carpenter Bee (two photos)
Xylocopa tabaniformis androleuca

This female carpenter bee at Red Butte Garden was very hard to photograph and I'm still
amazed I got this shot. It hardly ever stopped moving. © Carol Davis 8-31-2015

The eyes on this species are beautiful. You can read more about carpenter bees at this Penn State site. If
you want to see what the male looks like, visit my other page. © Carol Davis 8-31-2015
