Hi RamsankarSR, incredible bee spotting! A warm welcome to Project Noah!
Welcome to Project Noah, RamsankarSR. I corrected the category for you. As Neil Ross has pointed out all insects belong to Arthropoda.
Beautiful first spotting, RamsankarSR. What an amazing bee that is! I've never seen the species before. Welcome to the site, and I hope you enjoy it. Also, bees are arthropods, so you may wish to change the category from other.
