Eddie The Bugman
~Osmia caerulescens (♂)~
I found this little beauty today, there were quite a few Bees settling on a fence at Wilford Claypit, most of them were quite large, then I noticed this handsome little Bee, I really liked the colour and the amazing eyes. I have spent a while trying to find out what it is on the BWARS site, but have come to no definite conclusions. So if anyone can point me in the right direction with ID then I would be very grateful.
This was just a single shot at F/11, Bees are tricky to focus stack, most of them are constantly moving, the abdomen on this one was constantly moving.
Possible ID Osmia caerulescens thanks to Africa Gomez and Ed Philips and Jon. 1972 :0)
