excellent chompers on this little fella. male mining bee, Andrena sp., tentatively IDed as A. frigida.

mining bees are known for mostly being present during spring, and the severely dry summers i often complain about only serve to make their strict seasonality even stricter, so this sleepy Andrena schencki on a rainy autumn evening was unexpected. they're certainly easier to photograph when sadly clinging to branches than when they're teleporting from flower to flower, at least

Yellow legged mining bee resting on a crocus, this february, the earliest i've ever had them visit the little ecosystem i've been crafting in front of the house.
