[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
first signs of spring,today a clear day, on the walls heated by the sun began to appear the first insects, like this bee carpenter......

Xylocopa violacea (Linnaues, 1758)


L'ape legnaiuola è un insetto dalla livrea nera-blu metallescente, appartenente alla famiglia delle Apidae, diffusa nell'Europa centro-meridionale, spesso erroneamente identificata col calabrone.
È un'ape solitaria dal volo rapido e piuttosto rumoroso,corpo tozzo e peloso di color nero con riflessi violacei.
Si nutre di polline e nettare raccolto prevalentemente sui fiori delle Lamiaceae.La femmina scava gallerie nel legno morto in cui stipa il miele e alleva le larve: da questa abitudine deriva il nome comune della specie
Punge se fortemente disturbata ma non è aggressiva.

un'altra immagine dell'ape nel Ws.......
primizia dedicata a Luciano(Lousat)perche' si lamenta sempre di vedere"minestre riscaldate".....

Hello Sergio,
Superb details on the black Xylocopa violacea.
The lighting is a little harsh.

Your spring is way ahead ours, Sergio, whereas I won't be seeing insects before April, that's for sure! And this is quite a close-up of this insect, it is amazing and how interesting to see the clamps of the mouth and whatever it is doing in this place. thank you, great picture,

Hi Sergio, Good Morning MF!
An impressive macro capture of a carpenter bee from frontal pov which we could see its mouth parts in detail.
TFS and cheers,
Bayram

Hi Sergio!

While I look at your picture and read your notes, I cab hear the stormy wind blowing outside. It's a typical storm of the month of february and also a sign of the spring knocking at the door.

The picture indeed is surprising as it is quite soon for the bees to fly. The view on this insect's head is superb and the details are impressive. Just be careful with the burnt whites...

Kind regards

Markus

Hi Sergio,

Fine colours.
