Andrena - Andrena dunningi - Female
Syracuse, Onondaga County, New York, USA
April 25, 2020
Fairly large Andrena, three or four of them all investigating a small patch of ground covered with leaf litter. There was a jumping spider which followed one of the bees around for 15 or more minutes, always getting close but never making a move! Andrena vicina perhaps?

scopa
If I may ask, isn't A. dunningi supposed to have at least partly pale scopa? I think my specimen has all dark scopa - how then would one separate it from vicina?
