Nomada cuckoo bee covered in pollen. These bees are really common in the spring and can be seen flying low over the ground in woodlands looking for nests to parasitize. Or headfirst in a dandelion like this male was. https://t.co/Okd7zugU8k
@cgwilson25 Clypeus looks like it fits the A. regularis description:
Clypeus shiny except shagreened in basal third or less; with small round punctures separated by one to two or more puncture widths, without median impunctate line
A. carlini has a median impunctate line
Bee season is over here. It’s snowing out and my asters are done blooming. This is a leafcutter female from a few weeks ago (Megachile centuncularis, maybe) https://t.co/UhgyjAEAJq
