Mining Bees (Genus Andrena)

April 2024

Description

Male (with a yellow clypeus) visiting Zizia aurea in a suburban habitat garden.

He had a brief interaction with a female Andrena on the same flowers, and I'll link her photos here once they are uploaded.

I apologize for the excessive number of photos. Note that the wing veins (three submarginal cells) are only visible in the second to last image. Also note that the first flagellomere seems to be somewhat shorter than the second.

It there a chance this is A. personata?
