Xylocopa tenuiscapa, or Xylocopa (Platynopoda) tenuiscapa, is a species of carpenter bee. It is found only in South Asian and Southeast Asian countries.
Like most bees, X. tenuiscapa has a diurnal activity cycle, but in the Western Ghats of Southern India, the species flies in moonlit nights[2][3] and has been observed as pollinator of nocturnally flowering trees.[4] Males of the species perch on exposed sites close to nests or in the landscape waiting for occasions to mate.[5]
