Yellow form - Laphria thoracica
Harms Woods Forest Preserve, Glenview, Cook County, Illinois, USA
June 22, 2006
Size: ~22mm
This one has a black beard, black forehead, a yellow thorax and yellow on the abdomen. Looks different to us from our other Laphrias. Any suggestions?

Laphria
I think this is still the yellow form Laphria thoracica. Good shot with the wings propped.
