What I like to call the black fat now known as the black flap

Growing up  my brother and I use to call  the big black  and yellow carpenter bee  "black fat"  It is mostly black  and a fat bee.  Well it's that time of year for these bees to be all over the place and of course now being an adult I simply ignore them  and often try to snap pictures of them as I see them on flowers.


Well the other day Gavyn was here  and he came running in saying grandma  get it so I went out realizing that he was talking about the carpenter bee  or for me the "black fat"  so I told him oh hunny its just a black fat  it won't bother you  it's just flying around.  He started to laugh at the name  and now it is know as the "black flap"
