Hi,

I found this lovely little bee yesterday,sitting on a speedwell in rural sussex,unfortunately it didnt give me time for many photos.
It was probably the smallest ive seen i think,maybe no more than 4-5mm.

thanks:)

Noel.

thanks cthirion:)

Someone else just came up with the same as you..Nomada,possibly Nomada flavoguttata or N. sheppardana,but suggested it might take a microscope to be sure.
