Default Bee ID please?

Since there are so MANY dragonfly and but, time for bee to show some face.

I took this but not even sure it's a bee or wasp. Anyone can ID this?

This is a bee. Identification very similar to the wasp but recognisable by its leathery body with short sparse hairs on the segment joints. Wasp body is smooth without hairs.

very nice shot esp the detail and background


would prefer to crop to portrait format for closer and tighter view.

Thanks azone and megaweb. I think I'm kinda agree with tighter crop. Portrait crop is a great idea to make the composition look better
