Xylocopa violacea, also known as Xylocopa violacea, is a species of iridescent-winged bee belonging to the Xylocopini family. This fascinating insect is known for its particular metallic purple and blue colouration, which is mainly manifested in its wings, giving it a unique beauty.

Xylocopa violacea are extremely important pollinating insects. They feed mainly on nectar and are attracted to flowers of various species, including the blue viper, with which they have a symbiotic pollination relationship. Thanks to their long tongue and the ability to feed on nectar in depth, these bees play a fundamental role in pollinating numerous plants, promoting the reproduction and biodiversity of the plant kingdom.

These bees are solitary and do not form colonies. They build their nests by digging holes in wood, usually in tree trunks or rotten wood. Inside these nests, they lay their eggs and care for their offspring until the young bees are ready to go out and face the outside world.
