 Hi All


I saw this bee today and managed a couple of shot before it disappeared in the wind.


I thought it was Andrena fulva (Tawny Mining Bee) but I am leaning more towards Osmia bicornis.


Could someone take a look and let me know?


Yours


Gareth

 I took a look there but I am concerned about variation.

I checked out Steven Falk's galleries and it would appear that it ia a female Andrena fulva (Tawny Mining Bee), though if anyone has any other ideas, I'd love to hear.

Yours, Gareth

 Hello,

Andrena fulva female is correct. It's an unmistakeable species.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
