Today, I want to show you some photographs that I think are really cool, especially one of these insects. I'd say it's really cool when it's trying to collect nectar from a flower. I really love watching this insect fly, so I immediately tried taking a picture using my smartphone camera.

It's also a carpenter bee, but I think it's really beautiful.

It looks like a bee is drinking flower nectar, it's very beautiful.

Thank you

It's quite nice to see such a beautiful fly sitting on the flower's chest.

Thank you very much
