Anthophora flexipes, f, back, Mariposa, CA
Compact small bee want to meet compact small flowers. Anthophora flexipes is definitely cute, though, of course, we can let that shade its importance as a pollinator in the high lands of Yosemite National Park.

Anthophora flexipes, f, back, Mariposa, CA
A wee little Anthophora. Meet Anthophora flexipes. I don't know much about this species since it lives out West where I don't live, but it is cute and it is an Anthophora. Collected way up the mountains from a burn study in Yosemite National Park by Claire Kremen's bee study group.

Anthidiellum notatum, m, left, Yolo, CA
Can't really get tired of Anthidiellums. Here is Anthidiellum notatum...it is found throughout the United States and leaks into both Canada and Mexico. As is often the case for something that occurs across an entire continent, there are color variants, differences in various dimensionalities of veins, pitting, legs, and other structures.

Anthidiellum notatum,F, MD, PG County
Anthidiellum - Latin dimunitive of the the larger, and more robust, genus Anthidium. This little bees often go unnoticed both because they are very small and because they are very fast...zipping from flower to flower seemingly without resting.

Anthidiellum notatum
One of a number of subspecies of Anthidiellum notatum....A. n. robersoni, in this case. This is a western version. Park of Claire Kremen's Shop. Found in Yolo County. But...is it really a subspeices or is it actually a different species. Good question Pilgrim. Wouldn't it be nice if someone were to sponsor the hunt for that answer.

Background fun. Note that in one picture in this series we put a background of grass in our mini-insect studio in front of the black velvet curtain. What do you think ...pro? con?This is Anthidium illustre a snappy looking beast from the Rocky Mountains west.
