orange-haired Megachile sp. leafcutter bee - Megachile petulans
Warsaw, Hancock County, Illinois, USA
July 14, 2017
Found on winged loosestrife in the wet prairie of my backyard restoration. I didn't know if this is just a male with different coloration. There was another associated with this one that was the typical black with silver/white hairs.
