Finding the Right Hole ;)

            Do you know what kind of holes that I'm talking about here? Of course you don't know, do you? From the smallest hole to the black hole, there are too many possibilities. Oh well, I guess you have so many choices with so little time.  So, let's just read this post until you find the right hole. ;)
            I hardly recall since when I started taking pictures of the insects. Guess, since I got a camera as my 23th birthday gift last year? Birthday gift from myself, lol! But no, I wasn't really interested in taking pictures of small objects, not even the moving objects, not especially small living objects that keep moving, the insects! But once I did, I felt the adrenaline rush, when I had to wait for minutes, even hours to get the good pictures. What I really liked was when I had to move in a very slow motion, while I'm such an impatient person, I have to say. So yeah, that was really challenging for me. I've posted some of the nice pictures on the Instagram, but then because of some reasons that I can't explain, I've deleted my both accounts there. Pfffttt!
            OK, back to the topic, the right hole. I usually go to the bamboo forest near the sports ground every morning. Not because I'm  looking for young bamboo sticks to feed my Panda (some of my friends call me MandaPanda, aww). I don't want to deforest nor do I want to find the bamboo shoots to make "sayur lodeh". I just regularly come to visit my friends there, the carpenter bees.
            As I pay a visit everyday except Sunday, I know quite well about their habits, I can tell which holes are empty and which bamboo sticks are full of bees. But today I got a surprise, ughhh! Hahaha


It has pretty sharp mouth and can you see its red tongue? :p



         I spent half an hour with this cute guy before I decided to explore the other side of the forest. I walked twice passing another bee without noticing it until I finally saw a black object and I screamed "oh my gosh, I almost stepped on you!" What a relief, hahaha.
 

Yup, that's him!

           Because I got stung by a carpenter bee few days ago and that wasn't really nice, I've learned a lesson then. This time I didn't want to take any risks although I didn't mind touching them. But I couldn't move quickly if I put him on my finger (that was the reason that bee stung me, because I moved way too fast and it made him feel in danger, even though I didn't provoke him!), so I found a stick for him to hold on.



It looks like he's giving me a kiss! Awwwww :D a kiss by a bee?
 Hahaha as long as it's not a kiss on your lips, then it'd be safe for you.

Why didn't he fly? "Why are you complaining about the way I move? Remember, it's my territory human!" Alright, alright, stay cool, you bee!

           I don't know why, maybe he was too tired to fly? He's too old, as I could see the white hair on some parts of his body. Or he might just have a fight with another male bee. I tried to find a hole for him. But whenever I put him near the entrance, there was always a bee inside. They showed their asses to block the holes, some were showing their heads and almost attacked the old bee. After 5 attempts I finally could get an empty hole for him. Oh well, I called it the right hole :) He was, without doubts, crawling inside the bamboo stick. Haha, he looked pretty excited to meet some other bees. I said goodbye and left him with his new friends. I hope I can see him again tomorrow as he's pretty noticeable because of his hair! ;)          
            Now you all know the right hole that I keep talking about, don't you?

Is it the right hole? Nah, it's not! But that's fine, let's just find another one

Haha, I know you're happy now, but I'll  still pay you a visit tomorrow!
