Nomia spiney, m, vietnam, angle
Check out the rear pointing spines at the end of the thorax on this male Nomia from Vietnam, there has to be something interesting going on there. As with other Nomia this male has expanded hind leg segments, some nice pearl banding no the abdomen, and a little color pop from the thin trailing edges of the wings from wing interference patterns.

Nomioides, bee tiny pretty wing, f, kyrgystan, angle
Nomioides, bee tiny pretty wing, f, kyrgystan, angleSize of bee makes a difference, even in terms of what bees get studied. Large bees attract even the non-biologists attention and thus Carpenter Bees and Bumblebees are well known around the world. Small bees, that don't bother or sting us can remain unstudied despite their abundance.

Nonbee 3, U, face, Cecil Co., Maryland
Unknown parasitic wasp, Cecil County Maryland. This specimen is so small that I am losing some definition due to the amount of cropping that I had to perform.

Notoxaea ferruginae, f, back, Paraquay
The sad Notoxaea...the only member in its genus. It lacks a sting and perhaps is a mimic of the many potent Centris bee species. You will have to go south of the Amazonian basin to find this baby. Collected by Laurence Packer's York University adventurers.

One of the most common bees in the East...if only we could figure out how to identify it more easily. Here we have Lasioglossum trigeminum. Fits right in with A. admirandum, A. versatum, and A. callidum and I often struggle with dark second thoughts about the specimens Id, because of all the overlap.
