Another female bee on prickly poppy - Ceratina - Female
Overlooking Mono Lake, east of US-395 about half-way up Conway Summit, Mono County, California, USA
July 4, 2012

All were seen on the same group of prickly poppies (Argemone munita), in proximity to this conopid fly. I was wondering if maybe the conopid was using the bees as a host, but I didn't witness it approaching the bees.
