Lasioglossum nymphale, one of the most abundant bees in the world, but/and it is thus so only in places of deep sand.  Buckets of this species can be collected in the dunes and deep sands of coastal ocean and gulf lands from New Jersey down and around to probably Texas (unclear...someone needs to work the coastal barrier islands).  Often these environments have only a limited number of species present with uber dominance by little red butt L. nymphale.  Go to the inner dunes for a bit and that can change quickly to a more mix of sandy loving bees with L. nymphale in the mix.  Someone needs to grab our data (we have tons of that, to the tune of 7K+ specimens of L. nymphale) and tell that story.  Photo by Sierra Williams.
