Known as the Blue Carpenter Bee, this large carpenter bee (order HYMENOPTERA, family APIDAE) is expertly spread and preserved in full display position — showcasing the breathtaking sky-blue pubescence (caerulea = sky-blue) that covers the thorax and abdomen in a dense, velvety shimmer, large robust build, broad iridescent wings, and powerful wood-boring mandibles that make this iconic and instantly recognisable species the crown jewel of any bee or HYMENOPTERA collection, ready for framing or display.
