Hello! Stopping back in from haitus to say that I will still be on hiatus at least until the semester is over because I really really overbooked myself this year, but look forward to some more photos when school is done and the weather is better for bugs!
I'm the meantime, here are a nice early Colletes inequalis and Andrena miserabilis that I saw at a nice day in the park last week.
Colletes ultravalidus from Tim McMahon in Florida. A recently described species that appears to be a vaccinium specialist. You can's see it in this picture, but it has an incredibly long face, probably to reach into those vase shaped Vacc blossoms.
