[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At least to me, a novice behind the camera, this Blue-banded Bee [Amegilla spp.] has been one of the most elusive insects and very difficult to capture, face on or its wings in flight. It's very quick, generally. The young ones are a bit slow and easy to capture. This is an adult and so it was quite quick and that too at the peak of the day.

I've just cropped the image and resized.
