This seems to be a bee was sleeping with his jaws clinging to the branch of a plant. I do not know the species.

AMAZING photograph!
Thank you very much for identifying Juan not know existed leafcutter bees! Regarding the picture is upside down I commented that this is his original position, I've also found hanging and as the picture show. Greetings !!
Hi Eduardo, this is a male Leaf-cutter bee (Megachilidae), and yes, is probably sleeping. By the way, I think your picture is upside-down (they rest hanging from the stick)
Wow!nice macro shot!!
Great shot!
