Andrena melanochroa, F, Back1, NC, Moore County_2014-01-07-18.46.03 ZS PMax
Description:
A little tiny Andrena bee collected in the sandhills of North Carolina by Heather Campbell. Not much is know about this species, other than it appears to be uncommon and spotty in occurrence and runs from the West to the East coast with a fair amount of variation, which usually indicates that other species may be hidden within this one. So much work to do. Photograph by Brooke Alexander.
