Opening for Breakfast. Carpenter Bee on Common Wireweed, Sida acuta, Setangi Beach, Lombok, Indonesia
Common Wireweed is sometimes called a farmer's clock (see my www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/16695779826/in/photoli...). The flowers open up to the day around 9 AM, and close again just after 16.00.
So there I was on one of my particular hunting grounds, Setangi Beach and the fields acutely adjoining. Just after 9, there was this marvelous Carpenter Bee taking advantage of the still opening Flower. Look at her wonderful Gleaming Eye and her handsome Orange spots!
Anyone Outthere know which Carpenter Bee this is?
