Ah nice shot! Do you reckon it was sleeping? I've seen a Megachile genus bee (i think) holding a twig with its mandibles like that, asleep!

It was flying around to different spots and then getting into this position for a bit, then moving to a different spot. I think it was trying to find a suitable spot to sleep.
