Mining
Bee (two photos)
Andrena prunorum

The first thing I noticed about this little bee was the long
slender wings.

The next thing I noticed was the amazing color.

This little bee gave me three chances at photos, but wouldn't
hold still long
enough to get good shots. Anyway, there was enough
information to get an
ID on it. I found it at Garr Ranch on Antelope Island. See another
mining bee here.
