This is the beautiful insect in nature. But some ant attacks on it. Maybe it was wounded. I try to free it but it was not flying. It's a beautiful medium sized but beautiful insect. This is a beautiful insect. This is a medium sized insect. Last afternoon when I was sitting my house then I saw this insect. It was trying to free from ant but few ant attacks on it. This is a macro sized insect. This is the common in our region. Then I did some photography of it. Its name is a Apis dorsata. I found this name by searching on Google.

Ants have strength when it comes to attacking, no matter the size of the thing.

It’s sad to hear that ants were attacking it, but nature is full of such battles, isn’t it? Still, your effort to free it speaks of kindness and curiosity. Even though it couldn’t fly away immediately, maybe it just needed some time to recover from the stress.

Nice to know that Apis dorsata is indeed common in places like Bangladesh, where they build large, exposed hives high up in trees or in rocky ledges.🐝
