Mating Acmaeodera? - Acmaeodera linsleyi - Male Female
CA-18, 2.1 road mi N of Cactus Flats pullout, San Bernardino County, California, USA
June 5, 2021
Size: 8.0 and 8.5 mm
Found in copula on yellow roadside composite flower and collected both - one live photo and one dorsal specimen photo of each. I'm having trouble finding a match - maybe one of the variants of hepburnii?
