Neon Cuckoo Bee (Thyreus nitidulus)

I wanted to share some macro photos with the Community of Fascinating Insects; it’s been a while, and it feels like I’m back home. In the coming days, I’ll try to share more insect photography as I did in the past.

So, a few days ago, I found a neon cuckoo bee (Thyreus nitidulus) in the bushes. It’s a shy, solitary bee that loves to perch with its mandibles on dry twigs or grass tips. However, it’s an active pollinator. It has a stocky build and impressive compound eyes; I won’t tell you much about its physical appearance. You can see it in more detail in the following pictures. Let’s see!


These photos are my own, taken with POCO X3 NFC smartphone + external macro lens.
