Violet carpenter bee on lantana
A large violet carpenter bee (Xylocopa violacea) works a cluster of Lantana camara flowers near Klis, Croatia in October 2024 — its iridescent black body catching blue-violet highlights in afternoon sun, pollen sacs visible. The Lantana florets in orange, yellow and red provide vivid contrast. Shot with the Nikon Z 9 MC 105mm macro, this is one of Europe's largest native bees, distinguished from bumblebees by its metallic blue-black sheen.
