An Apid bee Tetralonia nipponensis male was endeavouring to copulate with a female of a different species Bombus diversus. The latter tried to brush off the male, however, in vain. The male almost succeeded in copulation with his genital organ extended to her vulva, but a blow of sudden wind disturbed it.
