Summary
| Description |
English: An invader of other bees nests, this is Coelioxys porterae, found, in this case from Acadia National Park in Maine. I can't recall which species of Megachile (leaf cutting bees) this species parasitizes us but there are plenty of options in the park. This is a male, and as with almost all males it has all kinds of pointy projections on its rear end. Very cool, but why? Sierra Williams did the picture taking and Elizabeth Garcia did the shopping.
