Xylocopa caerulea
Seen on a hike to some waterfalls near the town of Sungai Medang, on the edge of the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia.
I was shocked when I saw this strikingly blue bee fly by us on our walk. Managed to get a few blurry shots before it flew off.

So beautiful color! I've seen this bee before.. It was flying into my house then I immediately took my camera. But sadly, I didn't get the photo, you're lucky to found this bee twice! Thanks for sharing :)
An amazing creature nice spotting
Thanks, everyone! I think it's such a great shade of blue- I think not many creatures in nature have fur this color!
Stunning!
Thanks for sharing this.
Nice capture of an unusually colored bee!
What a beautiful blue jacket it has!
