found a chunky male carpenter bee on his back in the rain & took him inside to warm up.
it worked too well and he was moving too quickly for nice photos!

you’ll have to take my word for it that he was a wonderful velvety texture.
(Xylocopa virginica)

@stromboli-slurper submitted: Hi! No need to ID, I just wanted to share these bee friends I met the other day! They were both sitting on the ground and not really moving, so I was a little concerned. It's starting to get warmer in my area, so I'm guessing they were just waking up from their big sleep.
They hung out for a while, and flew off when they were ready :)
Definitely not unusual to find sluggish bees this time of year! These ones are VERY cute, especially the carpenter bee.

Male Valley Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa sonorina), which is in my totally unbiased opinion one of the most underrated insects.

Look if you’re going to follow me for art. You’re going to have to deal with the consequences

Valley carpenter bee (Xylocopa sonorina) I came across in Arizona. This one's a lady, because she's pure black. Here's what a male looks like:

[La Union, NM - Picture is from May] Hi! Do you know who this nice pollen-dusted friend might be? It looks different from the usual carpenter bees I see in this area.
The usual species I see here is Xylocopa sonarina, but this looks way too fuzzy and not shiny enough to be a female of that species, and the males are fuzzy but they’re totally blonde. Just wondering if it’s a natural variation of that species, or if I made a new friend!
Thank you!! 🐝
Definitely a female carpenter bee, they can have fuzzy butts. You have both Xylocopa sonoria and Xylocopa californica in your area and they both have all black females. I personally can't tell them apart just by looking at them, though.
