Nectarios Livisianos , Blue Banded Bee in Garden (September Theme: Travel)

My first ever spotting of a Blue Banded Bee in my garden in Oatley, NSW. Photo was taken with my Samsung s20 phone which was 'handy' at the time as I only had a few seconds to take the shot. The bee was collecting pollen from an eggplant flower.
