I found this collecting hairs from the stem of a globe thistle. It worked collecting its little ball of fluff for a few minutes and unfortunately flew off with its treasure just as I was trying to reposition for a side shot. Having not seen this particular bee/wasp and this behavior before I am intrigued. Thanks for any leads, I know it isn't the greatest identifying shot.
