Xylocopa Micans
Large black bee. I thought that it might be a bumble bee, but it zipped around and left so quickly. Not typical of the way the bumble bees hang around.
Spotted in the tropical south, gulf coast of FL.

Thanks Kristal!
Looks like a carpenter bee, genus Xylocopa. I'm not sure which species are in FL.
