"Say's Curved Pebble Bee"
Dianthidium curvatum sayi
This little bees are extraordinarily beautiful and can be found
on Antelope Island - at least that's where I've seen them the
most. They like Curlycup Gumweed. © Carol Davis 7-16-2019
Here's what they look like from the other end.

I thought at first this beautiful little bee might be dead because
she sat so still. I got just one picture and then she took off. Luckily, I
got a good shot. Resin Bees make nests out of pebbles like the one below

I wonder, is this spider getting paid for
watching over this little resin bee nest on
Antelope Island, Utah. © Carol Davis 7-17-2008
