Carpenter bee

Carpenter bees (the genus ''Xylocopa'' in the subfamily Xylocopinae) are large bees distributed worldwide. Some 500 species of carpenter bees are in the 31 subgenera. Their common name is because nearly all species build their nests in burrows in dead wood, bamboo, or structural timbers (except those in the subgenus ''Proxylocopa'', which nest in the ground). Members of the related tribe Ceratinini are sometimes referred to as "small carpenter bees".
== Etymology ==
The genus was described by French entomologist Pierre André Latreille in 1802. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek ''xylokopos''/ξῦλοκὀπος "wood-cutter". Species in this enormous genus are often nearly impossible to distinguish from one another taxonomically, the majority of species being all-black, or primarily black with some yellow pubescence, differing only by subtle morphological features, and details of the male genitalia. In India, for example, any all-black species of ''Xylocopa'' is referred to by the common name ''bhanvra'', and reports and sightings of ''bhanvra'' are commonly misattributed to a European species, ''Xylocopa violacea''; however, this species is found only in the northern regions of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, and most sightings, especially elsewhere in India, refer to any of roughly 15 other common black ''Xylocopa'' species in the region, such as ''X. nasalis'', ''X. tenuiscapa'', or ''X. tranquebarorum''.〔Gupta, R.K., Yanega, D. 2003.
