Neon Cuckoo Bee (Thyreus nitidulus)

[akukamaruzzaman]

I wanted to share some macro photos with the Community of Fascinating Insects; it’s been a while, and it feels like I’m back home. In the coming days, I’ll try to share more insect photography as I did in the past.

So, a few days ago, I found a neon cuckoo bee (Thyreus nitidulus) in the bushes. It’s a shy, solitary bee that loves to perch with its mandibles on dry twigs or grass tips. However, it’s an active pollinator. It has a stocky build and impressive compound eyes; I won’t tell you much about its physical appearance. You can see it in more detail in the following pictures. Let’s see!
