Field Notes

Description:

They looked like a type of stingless bees but I still need a more proper ID. They were no more than 1 cm, perhaps less. Reddish color with upper torax and eyes black.
The nest was embedded in a dead tree at the floor level.

Not very aggressive but I was also at 1 m distance or more..
These are probably Scaptotrigona genus. Do you remember if they were very agressive protecting their nest?
