Género MelectaObserv.
watercoloristDescripción
Bee was observed entering the opening. After <1 minute, it began to back out of the hole, then resting briefly at the entrance before flying away. Photos are in chronological order of the bee leaving the burrow.
Melecta are known cleptoparasites of Anthophorini. This could be a nest burrow of Habropoda cineraria which are plentiful in the immediate area and the only Anthophorini observed at this location at this early date. Maybe not a nest burrow, but only an exit hole of a recently emerged Habropoda?

Not sure, but it appeared to be interested in nectar from this Rubus flower. ID based mainly on location -- I'm not sure if there are any other species here. But please don't rely on this speculative ID.

Found just below ground level on Ericameria nauseosa. The galls were discovered after the plant had been in decline for a year and was removed.
Most galls were hard and dry, but image #2 shows a water droplet forming when the gall was damaged. Is this a form of crown gall? Possibly Allorhizobium vitus?

Collecting pollen from Eutrochium maculatum in the marshy bottoms of Bogus Run. Though these are abundant flowers making quite a display in the marsh, I usually don't see many pollinators (other than honeybees) visiting them, so I was a little surprised to see this one, but it was clearly concentrating on the Joe Pye and had lots of pollen on its body.

This is a male, but I haven't been successful at finding any females. They are common on gaillardia, grindelia and heterotheca.

On the banks of Bogus Run. Photos taken with a macro lens -- less than ideal but hopefully sufficient for an ID. A migrant in transit I would assume.
