[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I've found a beatle and took piture of him. I don't know to which species of beetles it belongs.
It was very slow and I thought - it's very cold till now - the spring doesn't come this year - and it is not actually woke up.

Hi, Olga
Nice insect and a good capture of the wing metallic color. But the focus is decidedly soft and... this is not a beetle at all, it is a bee (carpenter bee, it is called, because it burrows in dead wood) of the genus Xylocopa, perhaps X. violacea. And by the way, contrary to beetles, it can sting.
