1/ #ThrowbackThursday #insects #Insekten #Natur #nature #Garten #garden #Wildbienen #bees Im Mai 2024 hat eine #Holzbiene, #Xylocopa iris, ihre Nistzellen in einen Holzstamm gebaut.

Wildbienen sind meistens klein und dunkel gefärbt. Diese ist zwar auch dunkel, aber riesig: Eine Blauschwarze Holzbiene labt sich an unserem Muskatellersalbei. Ihr Rücken ist mit hellgelbem Pollen eingestaubt.

For me it is difficult to distinguish between Xylocopa violacea and Xylocopa valga. But in this photo, this Xylocopa bee shows the back of the thorax so yellowish that it looks like another variety (Xylocopa pubescentes, Xylocopa virginica?) It would be very strange because the photo was taken in Valencia at the end of April.
Is there an entomologist in the room?
iPhone 15 Pro main camera + homemade macro lens for close focusing.

En esta foto, esta abeja Xylocopa muestra el dorso del tórax tan amarillento que parece otra variedad (¿Xylocopa pubescentes, Xylocopa virginica?) Sería muy raro porque la foto la he tomado en Valencia a finales de Abril.

Auf diesem Foto zeigt diese Xylocopa-Biene die Rückseite des Thorax so gelblich, dass sie wie eine andere Art aussieht (Xylocopa pubescentes, Xylocopa virginica?) Es wäre sehr seltsam, weil das Foto Ende April in Valencia aufgenommen wurde.

Carpenter vs. carpenter!

Today I spotted a carpenter bee (_Xylocopa_) with a disembodied carpenter ant (_Camponotus_) head still latched on to its leg! (Circled in second photo if you can't see it.)

It's really beautiful and a lovely photo, but this one's a #bee. I think it's a carpenter bee in the genus #Xylocopa. Depending on where the photo was taken, it's probably possible to identify the species.

de mi van azokkal a fadongókkal, akik egy hete már bezümmögték a tavaszt?

Btw az megvan, hogy angolul Violet Carpenter Bee? Tekintsünk el attól, hogy a magyar dongó menőbb szó, de igazán nyúlhatnánk, hogy ASZTALOS! Nem ám fadongó, nem! Szakmája van és úgy hiszem ez elég menő.

Our largest #bee, the Eastern carpenter #Bee (#Xylocopa verginica ssp. virginica) is well-known to those in proximity to outdoor wooden structures. Females carve out long tunnels underneath protected wood, e.g. porch rails, eaves.

Males emerge first in Spring. Territorial, they will fly right at you! Harmless to us.

Up close and personal with this Broad-handed Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa latipes) at Pulau Ubin, Singapore, on 26 Oct 2019. It kept returning to this perch so only some patient waiting was needed to get the shots.

A large solitary bee, it isn't aggressive and as long as you don't threaten it (like waving and attempting to smack it), it will rather just fly around you.
