First time ever, seeing one of these... Impressive 😳
Google says it's likely a female carpenter bee. (Finger for comparison). Her wings are so pretty.

Up close and personal with this Broad-handed Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa latipes) at Pulau Ubin, Singapore, on 26 Oct 2019. It kept returning to this perch so only some patient waiting was needed to get the shots.
A large solitary bee, it isn't aggressive and as long as you don't threaten it (like waving and attempting to smack it), it will rather just fly around you.
