Bee but? LEAF-CUTTER BEES, MASON BEES & ALLIES MEGACHILIDAE...where does this guy belong? - Megachile brevis
Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska, USA August 24, 2019 Size: 1/2"
This small bee was feeding on my gaillardia on a cool moist morning. I am sure it belongs in one of those groups listed above, but need to work on these beauties. I think it might belong more in the Genus Megachile, but would like to start being able to compare it more closely to others in this group. Any help you can give is appreciated.
