Blue Banded Bees Roosting

Blue Banded Bees Roosting (Amegilla )

These male Blue banded bees are settling in for the night.

Roosting on a weedy grass stem they grip on with their mandibles and not their legs.

They shake their legs and wiggle their abdomens to keep their position when a new bee arrives to settle.

The two here wouldn't give up their position, so this is how they stayed.
