Purple Ball of Food - _TNY_1223

No complete ID on this one based on just ths shot.

 

It is possible to see it is a mining-bee (Andrena sp.), but narowing it down further really isn't possible.

 

The beautiful flower which makes a great backdrop is the darker variety of the great masterwort (Astrantia major), which is just as popular with pollinating insects as with me as a photographer.
