Nature's Bijouterie. Ceratina smaragdula, Small Emerald Carpenter Bee, on Creeping Daisy, Wedelia trilobata, Setangi, Lombok, Indonesia
So I trod the sands towards Malimbu, climbed over huge volcanic rocks, and slithered over sea-weed covered water ledges coming out on one of my favorite places on western Lombok: Setangi and its beach.
Would it still be there I worried in anticipation? Yes it was and in relatively good repair too: the bale I claim for myself when I'm here (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/12608035904/in/photoli...). Bale in standard Bahasa but in the parlance of NTB (Nusa Tenggara Barat), the province of Lombok and Sumbawa: beruga. No matter what, it's a nice sun shelter and a place to put my little rucksack as I forage about.
My eye fell on pretty Wedelia trilobata, Creeping Daisy, and it's Emerald Visitor, Ceratina smaragdula.
PS My internet connection here - as always - is quite bad and slow; so please excuse my tardiness in comments.
