Description

When I first saw these guys, I thought they must be Bumblebees because they were so Large. But after some research, I learned they are Carpenter Bees. The wisteria attracted many insects while it was in bloom. Thank you very kindly for your recent views, comments and faves!

Excellent POV, colors and patterns in this pic of the Carpenter Bee, sans hammer and saw, and wisteria, Maria. I knew of Carpenter Ants, but never heard of this species.
