I took this photograph of the carpenter bee at Chittagong. Though usually I am not interested to take insect photos, but that day when I saw this bee I decided to take photo due the color of its wing. It’s beautiful. When I took the shot I even didn’t know the name of it, later one of my friends confirmed me the name “Carpenter Bee.” They most of the time traveling between the nest and the flowers from which they obtain food.
