Xylocopa sp, Family: Apidae Wikipedia: Carpenter bees are species in the genus Xylocopa of the subfamily Xylocopinae. The genus includes some 500 species in 31 subgenera. The common name "carpenter bee" derives from their nesting behavior. Nearly all species burrow into hard plant material such as dead wood or bamboo. Many species in this enormous genus are difficult to tell apart. Most species are all-black, or primarily black with some yellow or white pubescence. Male bees often are seen hovering near nests, and will approach nearby animals. However, males are harmless, since they do not have a stinger. Female carpenter bees are capable of stinging, but they are docile and rarely sting unless caught in the hand or otherwise directly provoked. Woodpeckers eat carpenter bees, as do various species of birds, such as shrikes and bee-eaters. Other predators include large species of Mantodea (Mantis) and predatory flies, particularly large species of the family Asilidae (Robberfly). Woodpeckers are attracted to the noise of the bee larvae and drill holes along the tunnels to feed on them.
