Who knows what the camera was focusing on? I like clarity in the face and eyes. This is a friends and family only photo. After I post a bunch of new pictures I'll make it visible to anyone.

"The Valley Carpenter Bee can be alarming when you first see it. They’re large as bees go, their whole genus is, roughly a third the length of a humming bird. Bulky, inch-long, metallic black females hum like conspiracy-theory black helicopters from flower to flower. The rarely-seen males are golden and fuzzy with gold-green eyes.
... Males will broadcast their availability to foraging females and wrestle other males out of the air in flower-rich territories. These wrestling matches look a little like two Golden Snitches fighting. " ourcityforest.org
