Field Notes

Description:

This bee has red-brown eyes and abdomen. The abdomen has a black stripe down the back as seen in the second image. Sorry about this series. I was actually photographing a wasp on the same flower and didn't notice this bee until I was cropping the image.

Habitat:

Buckwheat flower in chaparral
