Anthidium manicatum - Wool Carder Bee seen again in Sunnyvale, CA - Anthidium manicatum - Male
Sunnyvale, Santa Clara County, California, USA
September 6, 2007
I got a few more pictures of Anthidium manicatum in the exact same location as yesterday. They seem to be a little reclusive, and there was a lot of activity in the area, my main objective was just to see if they would be there again.

As an afterthought, it looks it might be mating time about to begin!

The first day pictures are here:
