Black Bumblebee (28)

Yesterday Sunday, crossing one of the footpaths of the Reserve Ecólogica Costanera Sur, I found an enormous bumblebee (I consider 5 cm. of size) on a thistle.

I began to portray it of distant spot initially and with the course of the firings, I was approaching more and more until I flee towards an inaccessible site.

Lamentably I did not find information on its exact classification... perhaps is a species of the Bombus sort, although most of which I could see in photographies have bands of colors or colored zones. In this case, he was absolutely black.

I hope can help me with this.

To only the effect to try a correct classification, associate a later image of the insect like WORKSHOP, where the tenuous bands are appraised that do not modify the prevailing black color.

Al sólo efecto de intentar una correcta clasificacion, adjunto una imagen posterior del insecto, donde se aprecian las tenues bandas que no modifican el color negro imperante.
