Solitary Bee aka Plasterer Bee
For Macro Mondays, 26th July 2021, Theme: Eye
Most likely Colletes daviesanus. There are hundreds of Colletes sub-species throughout the world but this is the most common one found in the UK. It's a very small bee, only around 10mm long. The Tansey on which it is perched here has a diameter of 8mm. The double catch-light in the eye is caused by the twin flash.
