A male(?) of leaf-cutter bee (Megachile sp., family Megachilidae) visiting purple flowers of vetch (Vicia amoena, family Fabaceae) on the riverbank to feed on nectar. Replayed at 5x slow-motion to show you the absence of scopa on the underside of his abdomen. Captured in the cloudy late-afternoon (around 16:05 PM) of mid-July 2022 in Japan.
