Field Notes
Description:
A tiny solitary native bee (10mm long); all shiny black except for bright yellow shoulders and backpack.
Habitat:
SE coastal Australia, open dry sclerophyll forest mainly eucalyptus
Notes:
This tiny bee was visiting a mallee root checking the tiny holes in the very hard wood. Possibly looking for an ideal nesting site. They build a solitary style nest.
Very poor lighting. Bad focus.
