Perdita interrupta - Female
Pasadena, residence near Rosebowl, Los Angeles County, California, USA
April 11, 2017
My neighbor has been planting natives, and some of our natives have made it across the fence, i.e. Eschscholzia californica and Camissoniopsis bistorta. Found Perdita interrupta in my neighbors garden, and subsequently in my poppies as well. Here's one photo of a female, though have sampled males as well.
