A friend of mine saw this insect this morning. We're not really sure what it is. Can anyone help us identify it? Thank you ibb.co/drDjDb |

Lol. Im assuming these 2 curious friends live close by. But it is just an assumption thank you Adam, and I'm guessing it's somewhere near the Philippines. . .

I live in the Philippines. Thank you so much, everyone! Really appreciate it! Youre welcome! Maybe its Xylocopa aestuans or pubescens zookeys.pensoft.net/article/2861/ |

The Xylocopa we have here in Thailand are mostly black or dark purple, sometimes with a yellow thorax, and are mimicked by Sataspes (Sphingidae).
