Greetings of friendship to all my friends in the world. Healthy greetings to everyone. All my friends. There are times when I don't find what I'm looking for but I find others. I went to the thatch garden to look for mushrooms. Because usually, although there aren't many mushrooms, I can get one type of mushroom in the thatch tree garden. But what happened, I found a carpenter bee perched on the midrib of a thatch tree.

Maybe an insect called Xylocopa latipes. Xylocopa latipes is a species of carpenter bee that is widespread throughout Southeast Asia. Carpenter bees are insects from members of the Apidae family with large hands. This black carpenter bee is circling in search of possible food. Then I chased him from one place to another. Because it is so agile, it was very difficult for me to photograph this bee. However, I continued to try my best even though I was tired and exhausted. Because I have to chase to get the image of the carpenter bee.

With the belief that I did my best, I managed to get several images of the carpenter bee. These bees inhabit forests and build nests by burrowing into wood. Thank you very much for everything.

I can see how this would have been difficult to capture. The solid black of the bee is what makes it so cool looking but also a bit trickier to get the light and focus on point. Great job doing the backdrops at the end and adding that contrast. I could see you zeroing in on the focus as you progressed as well. Excellent work on this one! Hope your rice gets happier!
