African Carder Bee (Pseudoanthidium repetitum)
Only the second time I have seen one of these. The first being in January last year.
I add the description that I got at that time.
This is a recently introduced exotic African carder bee, (Pseudoanthidium repetitum). It differs from the native Megachile bees in that the white bands across the abdomen are coloured cuticle rather than coloured hair as found in native bees. The common name carder comes from the way females construct a brood cell. Some native Megachile bees use cut leaves to build a cell while others gather plant resin. This bee scrapes or carders plant fibres from the leaves of a few plant families and makes a cotton wool like brood cell. First found in Australia in 2000 in Brisbane and was recorded in Perth in 2020. These bees often nest in human made boxes (especially fuse boxes) so get transported easily by us. An interesting bee to have in your garden.
Transitando lungo il primo tratto della strada provinciale 92, provenienti dalla strada statale 195, ci si immerge in un ambiente unico che muta continuamente di aspetto in base alla luce e al ciclo di produzione delle saline. Percorrere le strade sterrate che contornano l’area è senz’altro un’esperienza unica.
Per l’importanza legata all’archeologia industriale e agli aspetti ambientali, le saline sono diventate dal 2017 oggetto di valorizzazione da parte del FAI (Fondo per l’Ambiente Italiano).
E' solo una nuvola di moscerini, nati dai fanghi dei bassi fondali lagunari. Una foto difficile, che riscuoterà pochi consensi. Eppure l'importanza ecologica di questi minuscoli organismi è notevole. Senza di loro rimarrebbero senza cibo rondini, balestrucci, beccamoschini, cannaiole e moltri altri piccoli predatori. Benvenuti mescerini, allora ..... ..

Quite pretty flowers although this is an imported weed.
African Carder Bee (Pseudoanthidium repetitum)
The first of these I have seen this season.
These were first sighted in Australia in 2000. My first sighting was in 2022.
I am having tech problems today, hopefully I can upload these images and I will catch up when I can - it may be tomorrow.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
