Triepeolus - Triepeolus grandis - Female
Avondale , Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
June 6, 2020
Photographed taking nectar from Borago officinalis flower at 2:45 pm in full sun, with a temperature of 95 degrees. Several of these bees were photographed so there may be both male and female in these images. This is my first time sharing images on BG.

Looks like...
This image and the last image are female and the other two are male, I think. They might be the same species, but I don't know for sure.
In the future, please be careful to not mix up multiple individuals, unless they are mating or part of a colony or hunter-and-prey, etc.
WELCOME TO BUGGUIDE!!!!!!

Thank you
Clearly on a learning curve with documenting photographs and finding the best way to have them viewed for identification by experts. If this post requires deleting in order to start over with only one bee, that is no problem.

OK
No, you don't need to delete anything and we understand how this can happen. Images can simply be un-linked or re-linked, as necessary, if needed.
I have already gendered the images for you. Don't make any changes until you hear from an expert.
