Need help with this one, nectaring on Black Choke Berry shrub in my yard. Thank you.
Leisurely inspecting a regrowing disturbed open area in the suburbs. Lots of bare dirt and short plants. I'll try to get another photo next sunny day.
This bee did not have the "jizz" of an E. Carpenter Bee and it was smaller. I never saw the face. Is it a species of Digger bees? Or perhaps a member of the Tribe Eucerini? Thank you for any ID suggestions. I found it on a large glade property belonging to the MO. Dept. of Conservation.
Resting on the leaves of a fringe tree. About 58 degrees at this time.
