At last got a photo - a bit blurry - of this Blue-banded Bee in my garden.

Sure its not Amegilla zonata?
Thanks Argy Bee. Been hunting one of these bees for a while. They really move fast. They hover for a second then dart off like a bullet, one can hardly follow them with the eye. And yes, the blue is really strong. I always find them by flashes of turquoise light amongst the bushes.
Amegilla cingulata?
Well done. The blue seems so much stronger in India.
