The Japanese carpenter bee gives off a scary impression with its large body and the buzzing sound it makes.

However, when they approach you, it might simply be because they've mistaken you for a female.

This makes them actually quite gentle creatures.

Male Carpenter Bee

Female

Thought it was an enemy.

The female ones may sting.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
