The bright vivacious beauty of a blue-banded bee(Amegilla sp.) is quite hard to ignore. I tried a lot to capture them but their fickleness defeated me again and again. I found them mostly on little flowers- moving from one to another with a great rapidness. This image is of a female. Their sex can be understood by counting the blue rings on their abdomen- the males have five while the females have four. Wish you enjoy the naughty beauty.
