Some will be surprised to see blurred wings in one of my insect in flight shots. So I have to tell you a bit longer story to explain why I show it anyway.
Anthophora plumipes was first described as a new species in 1993 by Paul Westrich, based on two individuals in museum collections. A male from Fuerteventura (1985) and a female from Lanzarote (1981).
This year my wife Gisela captured an unidentified Anthophora male on Lanzarote and uploaded it on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/144217344@N03/46683586604/in/photol... . Bernhard Jacobi recognized it as Anthophora porphyrea and informed Paul Westrich, who was very pleased about the first known picture of a living specimen. www.wildbienen.info/forschung/anthophora_typen.php
Upon this new information I checked my unidentified bees from Lanzarote and was lucky to find about 30 shots of this species, males and females taken in 2014.
Until now I never took my equipment for insects in flight on a flight, therefor the wing beat is not frozen as usual in my photos.
