Did a walk round the garden before lunch. Quite dull & cold then, not many insects about, just a couple of Mining Bee's. Probably Andrena species
Tawny mining bee (Andrena fulva) showing well in my garden. The females are particularly eye-catching with their foxy red hair and black undersides. These mining bees will nest in the lawn and patches of bare ground!
Not a great image, but I photographed this bee in our Staffordshire garden yesterday. Looks like a large male Andrena Mining Bee but I don't recognise the species. This is the only shot I got. Can anyone help?
I've looked-up all the Andrena species recorded in the county atlas and A. bimaculata looks the best fit. Only two previous records though and facial hairs are much darker.
Update: See below, looks like it's A. nitida.

First red TIE Interceptor, now yellow TIE Fighter!
I am usually not too fond of "yet another TIE variant" but how could I resist a yellow one? Such a beautiful color to go with black and grey! This just screams "utalitarian design" and so fits the mining guild theme perfectly!
It is a relatively simple build, but it already contains some fixes I intend for the v2.0 TF, most notably better shape of the solar panel. Change is minimal but noticeable enough! And I am very slightly... quite proud of the stripe solution ^^
This driver did a great job hauling this mining truck through this city of Red Deer, Alberta. The pilot truck on the left of the image guided traffic to allow the driver to negotiate this left hand 90° turn.
Another record shot of a bee from yesterday. This one landed beside some holes in the soil of the footpath running along the River Ayr at Failford.
Any help with ID much appreciated...the bee in this shot, and those in the next two uploads were all in the same spot.
Many thanks to Rory Dimond for the ID of Lasioglossum species for this one---I'm fairly sure the other two I found in the same area are different.

Abundancia, a small arid planet, and the richest colony of the G.M.F. in terms of ores.
The Locusts can collect the crystals directly from the ground, then the miners can fill the Mammoths with this shiny loot.
The end of the year is a perfect time to look back, to remember, to mine one's memory to then face the new year...

A wall mural in the old part of Ipoh, Malaysia showing tin mining activities in the Kinta Valley with a background of the famous karst or limestone hills. A mining dredge can be seen amongst other mining methods. This is one of seven wall murals in Ipoh painted by the Lithuanian street artist Ernest Zacharevic who became famous in Malaysia after his many works in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Georgetown, Penang.
Bottom's Up! This reed bee (Exoneura sp.) was tucking into our Native Geraniums to get at the food stuff within. Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday everyone!
The town of Gold Hill, NC was once known for being in the middle of Carolina gold territory. Today it still is known for gold and other mining operations, and hosts NS P92 every week day to serve the mine along with other industries.
Thanks to the flatbed truck's driver for allowing me to gain some height for this photograph!

The morning tailings train makes a run back to Silver Bay after dumping in the early morning. Being able to fit the entire train makes a wide view enjoyable.
From the road I spotted this which looked like it was from the same mining structure - some sort of metal and wood - this was no way I could had gotten closer - rats.
Perth is a mining town. Mining is a major source of revenue for Western Australia and hence the state is relatively wealthy and has the highest median household income of any Australian capital city. The picture shows the precinct at the ground floor for one of the major mining companies. This is repeated throughout the city with some lovely grounds

(96/365) I found this tiny solitary bee on Primrose flowers. Possible ID Andrena clarkella which is a common early flying mining bee.
