thanks friends
Bagus banget! :) I agree with Jellis, similar to Thyreus nitidulus.. but there're a lot of species in this genus, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyreus
pretty close to a Neon cuckoo bee (Thyreus nitidulus) but not sure if the marks and lack of blue on wings match.
Though listed as being in Australia, they have been spotted in Indonesia.
Beautiful! Blue is always stunning.
