It certainly is + is an excellent record. Please send a pm to our member Eucera who is a recorder for national scheme for bees + related insects with the details. Nice find- I've seen quite a few but none in the UK.
By the way it's a Violet Carpenter Bee not beetle, Xylocopa violacea. |

I did mean bee not beetle  was looking up beetles for id at same time as this bee, that's my only excuse & I didn't even notice when I re-read my request!
This bee was photo'ed in June/July 2011 at Landguard Nature Reserve, Suffolk. OS Grid TM283 312, Long/Lat 51.93, 1.32
Can't be specific on the date coz the photo's not mine, but it is definately taken here in June/July | | |
