Nomada crotchii - Female
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, San Diego County, California, USA
April 4, 1995
Size: Bl ~8.5-9.5
At the cliff wall 6-15' high at Hoberg Canyon many Andrena prunorum were busy digging burrows and bringing provisions for their nests. Others bees without pollen sacs were flying around the wall also, cleptoparasitic bees. this is one of the parasitic bees that we found dead. Venation suggests Nomada but there are other possible genera.
