About Arati Kumar Rao
Arati is a National Geographic Explorer, an independent environmental photographer, writer, and artist documenting the slow violence of ecological degradation.
The Xylocopa latipes is India’s biggest bee, and the world’s second largest (Need to confirm). This is a female who has collected pollen and is carrying it on the fine hairs on her legs. Xylocopa’s wings are iridescent not due to pigmentation but due to light refracting through nanostructures in their wings.
