Red Cuckoo Bee - Coelioxys - Coelioxys slossoni - Female
Ft. Myers, Florida, USA
October 26, 2008
A rather robust little bee. Beautiful, red and white striped abdomen with a definite stinger. I could get closer with my own eyes than with the camera, and it looked smooth and hairless. It was in no hurry to start its day and held still for three rounds of photos-- none of which really captured how positively gorgeous it was.
