Megachile lanata. A common tramp species of tropical seaports and islands. This one found in Cuba. Am on St. Croix today, keeping my eyes open, but only finding its twin tramp, M. rufipennis. Otherwise the islands here are oddly uninvaded by bee species from the mainland.
The Forgetful Bee. Sorry, anthropomorphizing is fun. We are fun. Therefore we are calling this the forgetful bee. It is also a male Florilegus condignus, collected and photographed by Chelcey Nordstrom in the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in Washington D.C.
Megachile otomita. Another Meg species from Costa Rica collected by Tim McMahon. Take a close look at the orange on the abdomen, its made up from tiny little fat orange hair lying prone on the "skin"
Andrena nasonii. Abundant, late spring to early summer; essentially ubiquitous, occurring in forests, fields, agriculture, suburban, and urban sites of all types where it forages on what would appear to be almost every woody and herbaceous blooming plant available #bees
Megachile abacula. A lovely Meg from Central America. Costa Rica actually. Collected by Tim McMahon. Megs always have lovely tongues. #bees
Halictus hesperus - Part of the great Seladonia complex of Halictus. The ones I am familiar with all look like this one from Costa Rica and they can be among the most common bees in an area, as likely this species is in Central America. Collected by Tim McMahon.
Macropis ciliata - Now rare species that uses the oils of Lysimachia flowers. This male from Bath, Virginia, collected probably by Ellison Orcutt
Coeloxys mexicanus. A southern species that ranges from the far south east into Florida, from there is arcs around the Gulf and heads into Mexico into Central America. I think of most members of the genus as sharp dressers and C. mexicanus does not disappoint. Georgia.
There are prairie species in the Mid-Atlantic. This is Andrena rudbeckiae which is found in Maryland in plantings and "wild" populations of Black-eyed Susans
Just a Chrysidid Wasp. If, as I have, you bring this picture to full screen and soak in the resulting fugue of detail, you come to realize the fierceness in creation
Canomaculina species, Beltsville, Maryland
The gentleness of lichens. Beltsville, Maryland, 2012, Flavopermelia caperata. #lichens
Japanase Burrowing Cricket, Velarifictorus micado, Beltsville, Maryland, July 2012, A reporter from Wired Magazine commented that this specimen was remarkably similar to Rodin's "The Thinker"
Ceratina strenua....a female with a nice white strip on the base of its front tibia along with a super small smudge of white on the adjacent femur, and that is what you need to id this species in the female form #bees
Lasioglossum eleutherense. Not your mother's #Lasioglossum. This is a member of a group of primarily Caribbean Lasioglossum species that have gone beyond the dull colors of ordinary North American species to be all prettied up in bright colors. Biscayne Bay. #bees #bee

A beautiful batch of bumble bees (and one tachinid) we collected yesterday in the páramo
One of the many unique aspects of this book are bee species profiles that explain nesting requirements of bees, and their floral associations. Sections of the book also explain how to amend soils for nesting bees, installing wood and mulch areas for shelter and hibernation.
Huge accomplishment from a collaboration between @mndnr and @UMN_Entomology with funding from @mnenrtf
Now published -- a checklist of the bees of Minnesota. We record 508 species. Many good bee species in Minnesota. mapress.com/zt/article/vie…
In our garden bee-hotel today (+ mites). The silver moustache and "antelope-style" antennae suggest Cribro to me (C. cribrarius or C. peltarius). Males often "roost" in bee-hotels. Can't see the unusual appendages they have on the front legs though. Any thoughts? #WaspLove
We tested our hypothesis by presenting praying mantids with glossy or matte targets moving at slow and fast speed. We found that glossy fast targets might be more difficult to track and harder to strike accurately than matte fast ones. 2/4
My first PhD paper is out today and it's open access! Glossy surfaces are everywhere in nature, but why these striking appearances have evolved is unclear. We tested whether gloss provides protection from predators when prey are moving. tinyurl.com/43fkczjf🧵1/4
I came across this bee last week for the first time! Andrena rudbeckiae… siiike! This is Andrena beameri, a very similar looking species of Callandrena. This be can be found foraging on early season Calliopsis, this individual being found on the side of a highway
I was so grateful to be able to hang out with @ArceoGomezG and his lab group at the serpentine seeps this year! Beautiful place and great people (and bees) (This is very belated, but now that the pollinator conference is over I’m catching up)
The field season in numbers so far: Elk: 36 Road-killed armadillos seen: 27 Bears: 1 Rattlesnakes: 1 Turtles helped to cross the road: at least 1 a day! Ticks: TOO MANY Cool bees seen: Lots :) pictured is an Andrena sp. (likely Andrena krigiana).
