Megachile fullawayi, back, HI, maui

From surveys of the urban and disturbed lower slopes of Maui comes a specimen of M. fullawayi, found on some of the other islands it is not surprising that this species would be found here to. The oridin of this species is a bit murky, but it is thought to be a recent invader of the islands rather than a long-term native.Canon Mark II 5D, Zerene Stacker, Stackshot Sled, 65mm Canon MP-E 1-5X macro lens, Twin Macro Flash in Styrofoam Cooler, F5.0, ISO 100, Shutter Speed 200, link to a .pdf of our set up is located in our profile
