couldn't get a better photo of this bee today, but saw it more clearly than this! Much smaller than all the big carpenter bees. Just saw one yesterday in the New Jersey pine barrens, visiting the flowering blueberry -- but no carpenter bees there to compete with!

Beautiful swirly patterns in a well decayed oak log (probably Quercus velutina judging by the tiny amount of bark that I could see). The green staining is caused by a fungus in the genus Chlorociboria.
