Lasioglossum boreale, F, Back, NH, Coos County
New Hampshire...The White Mountains...Mount Washington....at the very top is tundra a small remnant of what was more extensive in the cold post glacial times and still harbors arctic species like this Lasioglossum boreale. At this point this is the only location that has had this species in New England.

Jumping Spider 1, M, face,
Jumping Spider, Salticidae, Grabbed this one from a batch of National Park specimens of bees. Likely this came from Fossil Butte National Monument. Floated in hand sanitizer, this time Ben moved specimen so that most of the hairs stayed behind, also positioned specimen high in cuvette to get more of a black look

jumping spider, beltsville, md
Yesterday I captured this smallish (10mm) jumping spider. Not being a spider person I have not idea which genus it even is. So any help there would be wonderful. The closeup was done with a 10x nikon microscope lens on a 200mm used pentax. Beltsville, Maryland.

L. prasinogaster, F, Face, Utah, Garfield Co
Its just endless, the number of species of bees at Fossil Butte National Monument and the number of Lasioglossums Sweat Bees in the world. This one is L. prasinogaster. Pretty much looks like all the rest...mostly a Rocky Mountains thing...but a few found in the Pacific Northwest.

Hylaeus ornatus, F, Side1, MD, Dorchester County
Hylaeus ornatus is a masked bee, one that is always associated with wetlands. These wetlands can be freshwater marshy spots or they can be the backsides of salt marshes. Almost all have lovely red basal portions of the their abdomen. Some do not. We have series of these bees in a DNA lab to see if these two groups are different or the same.

Hylaeus pictipes, m, face2, Crawford Co., PA
Colors. You know, bees are so interesting sometimes. Here is Hylaeus pictipes. Jason Gibbs found this species up in Ontario, Canada where it did not belong since it is a bee of the Old World.
