Summary edit

Description A female carpenter bee, Xylocopa genus, on a Cal Fuchsia flower. This was last year but they're still here this year. She's about to pierce the blossom to "rob" its nectar. Since they can't fit inside the narrow blossom, they resort to robbing. These are large bees and don't seem to mind my getting in close for photos--but they do startle easily so it's best to move slowly.
