Very nice
And unusual. It is a she and I can't make it into anything but L. apila. I have still never found one. I think that strangely, MS had no definite record.

Laphria virginica?
With dense yellow setae covering the thoracic disk, and black hairs on the scutellum, why isn't this Laphria virginica? There seems to be a number of features that are wrong for L. apila.
