Triepeolus concavus:  Svastra Home Invader.  Triepeolus are a primarily New World group and lay their eggs mostly, but not entirely, in the nests of long-horned bees (Eucerini), mostly Melissodes.  Interestingly (to me), I can't find any records of them parasitizing Eucera (in the strictly old fashioned sense) but if you google around you will see mentions on websites that they do.   I feel like these websites are incorrect, so someone please correct me if I am wrong.   Eucera are a spring long-horn and maybe Triepeolus just don't do spring (I certainly know of no spring records).  In any case the species at hand invades the hulking long-horn group of Svastra, not Melissodes.  Consequently, they are a bit larger than most Triepeolus (as if anyone cared).  This bee was collected in the California Central Valley in Yolo County for research on small-scale restoration in agricultural areas. Claire Kremen's 10-year study of hedgerows shows the benefits of planting native shrubs and forbs in agricultural areas for native bees. Photo by Erick Hernandez.

When you have to rep your family legacy! S/O to @malditogedo for putting this idea together. The vision is real. Got to shout out my mother @ayakodehoku for being a part of the movement and culture! Had to add the pin my mother gave me right next to the Statue of Liberty because of the history! If you don't know get your googles on ASAP!
