Svastra Obliqua
I searched for quite sometime before finding this page. This would seem to Identify a bee that have seen on a few occasions around my residence. However upon further study of this Genus it is noted to range from around .6 to .8 inches in length. I have discovered one that exceeds this measure, probally to around 1.2 in length. Would that be a different species, the photographs are amazingly accurate to what I am seeing, Only larger, Please advise.
