26 April 2022 might be "Nomada flava"
22 May 2021 Gooden's Nomad bee (Nomada goodeniana)
14 May 2018*
One of the last insects to come across was this Nomada bee, I have just noted them this year after spotting a few in the garden. Very small but the yellow stripes on it's abdomen catch your eye.
With over 850 species, the genus Nomada is one of the largest genera in the family Apidae, and the largest genus of cleptoparasitic "cuckoo bees". They occur worldwide, and use many different types of bees as hosts, primarily the genus Andrena. (LINK)
