Can anyone out there help me identify a large friendly insect that visits me every morning to spend a few minutes banging its head against the patio door before giving up only to return the next day to try again.
It is about 35-40mm long, black, except for two yellow bands around the centre of the abdoman. I´ve trawled through hundreds of images of bees, wasps and hornets but without success.
 
It could be the carpenter bee. There are around 200 different species of this bee in the world charecteristics are yellow bands around different parts of there anatomy.
