Red and black abdomen with white bands--male Nomiinae? - Dieunomia - Male
Española, Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, USA
June 29, 2010
Size: 6-7 mm long
I'm not even sure this is a bee—I'm just guessing the subfamily because it looks like one and another I uploaded last year that John Ascher identified last year as male Dieunomia, subgenus Epinomia. Anyway, this is a better picture of an individual in better shape, so maybe the species will be identifiable.

The flower is lavender cotton, Santolina chamaecyparissus.

Probably D. (Epinomia) nevadensis arizonensis
the other possibility is D. (Epinomia) micheneri

Thanks.
So much for getting a more identifiable picture, but it's nice to see my friends from last year again.
