Here's one of those large ground-nesting bees I collected the other weekend (there were THOUSANDS of them; I collected four). I believe it's Diadasia bituberculata.

Today's warm-up photo: a little nomad bee I collected from the backyard last Friday. I've yet to find a decent key to Nomada bees, so I'll leave the ID there for now.

Take a break and look at this sweat bee, chilling on a leaf. Blowing bubbles.

It has really nice pearlescent green stripes.

I think it's a species of Nomia, but bees are not my strong point. Taken at the edge of a forest patch near Kuala Lumpur.

Archiv: ( sp.) sind trotz Wespentaille keine Wespen sondern gehören zu den Wildbienen. Die auch in D zahlreichen ähnlichen Arten sind Brutschmarotzer an den Gelegen anderer Wildbienenarten.

Our largest , the Eastern carpenter ( verginica ssp. virginica) is well-known to those in proximity to outdoor wooden structures. Females carve out long tunnels underneath protected wood, e.g. porch rails, eaves.

Males emerge first in Spring. Territorial, they will fly right at you! Harmless to us.
