Bumblebee - Orange w/green eyes - Xylocopa micans - male

Bumblebee - Orange w/green eyes - Xylocopa micans - Male
Bayou George, Bay County, Florida, USA
September 20, 2006
Size: Large
Over an inch and very heavy bodied - much larger than a carpenter bee. I have only noticed them this year.

Not bumble bee
This is a male carpenter bee, Xylocopa micans. Don't know if it is in our guide yet. Nice shot. Would you consider cropping it a bit?

 
Cropping male carpenter bee.
Certainly Eric - will send it tomorrow.

Thank you.
