bombuslaetus replied to your photo: Some of our Lasioglossum have the cutest scopa ��...

it’s even cuter when the scopa is bright white or orange.

Yes!! I was going through all our Lasioglossum to verify the genus (we get the occasional worn Halictus confusus or Calliopsis andreniformis sneaking in) so we can database them as Lasioglossum sp. and I must have looked at 1,000+ of these cuties this week!

@jeremyfanboy BECAUSE YOU INSISTED GOSH

Some pollinators I took this week. They really seem to be liking the daisies lol.

1) Halictus confusus, male (bee)

2) Syritta pipiens (fly)

3) Halictus ligatus (bee)

4) Philanthus ventilabris (wasp)

Wouldn’t it be great to, like, be a published photographer? Yeah... it would... :’)
