The metallic green carpenter bee is a large bee, approximately 20mm long. The female is a dark metallic green, sometimes with a bluish or purplish sheen, and the male is a paler green with golden hairs on the thorax and abdomen, and they have dark wings. They are called carpenter bees because the female uses her strong jaws to burrow into soft wood such as Xanthorrhoea (grass tree) stems, in soft dead trunks of banksias, or the decaying wood of other native shrubs.
