Hello There!
I can't say that I've seen such an orange undercarriage before which makes me wonder if it is a different type of bee, or if it is simply covered with a thick layer of pollen. One thing, it sure was a speedy flier and tough to get an image of. This bee is gathering nectar from a wildflower called "Prairie Clover." In a ditch? Yes!
An ID has come my way, hip hooray and a big thank you to Jerome and Lou!!! It is a Leafcutter Bee, genus Megachile.
Thanks a million for stopping by and your comments! I do love hearing from you. Have a lovely day!
