Will George @willgeorge.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Rainy today, so here's another good find from yesterday, a male Nomada lathburiana peering around a grass stem. Like all of the c.30 UK species, this is a cleptoparasite of other bees nests, in this case the Ashy Mining Bee, Andrena cineraria. 1131
Will George @willgeorge.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Ah nuts, forgot the alt text, the photo shows a small, wasp-like bee sitting on a grass stem, facing the observer. The bee has a noticeably yellow face and a black thorax with a dense coat of white hairs. The abdomen is patterned in yellow, black and red. 020
