Well, I think is safe to say is a Carpenter bee
Ironically you've found the best face/head shot already: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/621...
Again I thank you.
Juan I will look through my others in this series to see if I can find a decent head shot. Really appreciate your help. Thanks
To me it looks like a Carpenter bee (Xylocopa) but for been totally sure I should see the head (or face)
Thanks, Karen. I don't often see these bees until these flowers bloom.
Nice action shot!
