Carpenter Bee Colouring Page

This carpenter bee has a fuzzy-looking front and a smooth rounded abdomen beside a piece of wood and a blossom. The different textures make a fun colouring challenge. Try dark brown or charcoal for the smooth body, golden yellow on the fuzzy thorax and soft violet-blue for the wings. Colour the wood tan and choose a bright flower colour. Leave the little highlight pale to make the abdomen look shiny. Use short strokes on the fuzzy edge, longer strokes on the wood, and light pressure across the delicate wings. Choose your own colours too, and enjoy bringing this little insect scene to life!
