A disjunct population of a western bee...or at least not intermediate populations have been found between Florida and the West. This specimen was caught almost in Georgia, so close as it might as well be recorded for the state.

Ceratina tricolor, f, panama, face2
Playing a little bit here with a dark gray rather than black background, thoughts welcome. Yet more Ceratina pictures, diversity demands it. This series is from specimens collected in Panama by Sandra Rehan (UNH) as part of her mission to know everything there is to know about Ceratinas.

I particularly like the feel of this shot, something beyond documentation and more about relationship. Yet more Ceratina pictures, diversity demands it.

Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa variety 2, Poriodes
One of two shots of yet another slime mold group found by Susan Hopkins during the ATBI Adirondack bioblitz this past week. One can see where they get the common name of coral slime molds.

Cercis canadensis, 2, Redbud, Howard County, Md,
Ah....the redbud a lovely native leguminous north american small tree. Widely planted, awesome pollinator pollen and nectar food source...and...very interestingly, it has clear seed pods until mid summer which allows investigators to look at rates of pollination....could be used as a sentinel and a great citizen science project.

Cetntris attripes, face, m, Fayette Co, TX
A nice fluffy male Centris attripes from Central Texas collected during a family reunion. Centris are large bumble bee sized bees and as you move into desert and tropical area in the Americas the number of bumble bees decline and the number of often oil using Centris species and the equally large Carpenter bees increase.

Ceratina buscki, f, panama, face
Ceratina buscki a very small shiny green species from Panama as collected by Sandra Rehan as part of her studies. Ceratina species are almost always stem nesters in the soft pith of brambles and other small woody plants and can be one of the most common bees in some areas.
