wonderful
thank you for identifying this little bee Dr. Ascher. also, i would have been pleased to send you as many of these as you could have wanted, for a while there were a great many feeding on the goldenrods, but it seems the weather has put an end to them.

Fall Nomadas
in Colorado Springs are N. vincta and N.zebrata which this one is not.

vincta and zebrata belong to the vincta species group,
aka subgenus Pachynomada

whereas placida belongs to the roberjeotiana species group, aka subgenus Nomadita (and Callinomada)
