Field Notes

Description:

Yellow hairs on the mystax, thorax, and first three segments of the abdomen. Long yellow hairs on the posterior of the first two pairs of legs help make this one of the hairiest looking Laphria. There are some fine reddish hairs, usually present in a thin line on the inside of the fore legs that are very noticeable in the field with binoculars.

Habitat:

Sand oak prairie
