odd stance to find a nomad bee in, lots of pollinators like to bury themselves in flowers and look like they had a really rough night but it's not these guys' style. of course the angle is misleading
the culprit is this sneaky Synema globosum, who caught it as it was visiting the flower. getting eaten happens all the time if you're a bee, but most ways don't involve you dying with your ass in the air

Infraorder Aculeata
Schiller Woods - Chicago, IL - May 15th, 2024
Okay so the most I can for sure say is that this is a part of Infraorder Aculeata BUT I think it is most likely a part of the Genus Nomada or Nomad Bees possibly N. maculata or the Spotted Nomad Bee. If anyone has any insights I'd really appreciate them or as always you can help me ID things on INat using the link above. They are Kleptoparasites of other types of bees. Parasitic insects really truely hold such a special place in my heart.
my favorite little pollinator <3

Genus Nomada aka Nomad BeeÂ
This story is a bit dark. An Andrena bee owns this hole. It doesn’t take but a moment for an intruder to slip in lay an egg and escape. She id considered a kleptoparasitic "cuckoo bee". Her baby will eat all the other bee babies in the nest and then eat their food too just like Bombylius. The first parasite in the nest has to eat all the other parasite that hatch in the nest too if momma bee doesn’t detect and kill the parasites first.

this nomad bee seemed to have some weird stylish shoulderpads that really confused me for a second before i realized they were leg stumps. you were the first nomad i saw this year, you must've pupated like a few days before this photo at most. how the hell did you lose your arms

a nomad bee lost in the sauce, making the most of this Cistus flower before it comes apart in a day or two. even though nomad bees are famously a pain in the ass to identify, there's a lot of visibly different species around here, and these very dark red and black ones are among my favorites. you always have to appreciate a shadow the hedgehog color scheme
