I looked at some animations on-line, and they confirm that the motion is
three-dimensional, with both flapping and rotation. That implies a
complex joint or combination of joints, maybe not a ball, but similar.
Thanks for your comments.

I caught a Carpenter Bee in motion today and was intrigued by what
appear to be ball joints where the wings attach.
