"You Dropped Something" - _TNY_6334

A female Hylaeus annulatus bee walking along the side of my index finger, leaving some pollen behind.

 

Like all Hylaeus these tiny guys - unlike other, more advanced bees - don't have scopas on their hind legs to store pollen but instead carry it in their crop.
