This big black beauty of a bee appeared solitary among a hoard of normal sized bees and other assorted critters feasting on a stand of flowers near where I live. This was not the biggest I've seen because I saw a giant Asian Hornet earlier, but unlike the hornet, this one landed on a flower allowing me to get a couple shots. It was about 3.5 to 4 cm long and has vicious looking mandibles.
