Hi Bittu Baidya, welcome to Project Noah! :)

Good job. I remember my first sight of a carpenter bee in India and how shocked I was at it's size and blue-black beauty. Welcome to PN

Welcome to Project Noah, bittubaidya1. Very nice first spotting and surely, you will get an ID very soon. Please fill up all the boxes especially the Habitat box (where did you take the photo) and only post photos taken by you. If you know the ID of an unidentified spotting posted by someone else please do give suggestion. Once again, Welcome.
