Wow.
Look at the hind femur on that guy:-) That always helps me identify Nomia males....

Yes, I was amazed
when I got the image on my computer! I guess if I were a female Nomia I'd be impressed! I'd like to move this to a guide page but am uncertain whether to move it to the species page or just put it in Nomia...

Moved to species page.
As long as there is a comment, qualified in this case, I move it to the species page. The 'disclaimer' is thus "built in."

Thank-you.
I skipped right over the state--I've added it.
