Heriades truncorum (f)
Another surprising (to me) feature of London Wetland Centre was the diversity of bees, including at least three species I had never seen before. In particular, there was a large patch of black-eyed Susan flowers that my wife thought I would never leave.
I initially thought this bee was an orange-vented mason bee until I was corrected through iRecord and her true identity (large resin bee) revealed.
