Carpenter Bee

Xylocopa tabaniformis

Description:

This bee was hovering around one of the Dutch Iris every time I walked by. It would hover, then dart around to the other side, then nearer, then farther, then zoom off, only to return again a few seconds later and repeat the process. I finally got lucky enough to catch it when it briefly landed.

Habitat:

Wildlife habitat yard.
