Exoprosopa sp. "Chihuahua 1" presumably - Exoprosopa
Leslie Canyon Rd, 8.3 mi ESE of the intersection of Hwy 191 and Davis Rd in McNeal , Cochise County, Arizona, USA
June 29, 2012
Six-eight of these present feeding on flowers and chasing each other around. I believe the species of plant is Allthorn, (Koeberlinia spinosa) in the family Koeberliniaceae. 1,400 m. Creosote on limestone. GPS coordinates available. Four specimens taken are with Pat Sullivan. This appears to be the same species photographed nearby in the Dragoon Mts by Carol Breton:
