Description

Euhesma Euhesma
Identified as Euhesma Euhesma on Bowerbird by Bernhard Jacobi: "Hi Mitch, similarity to Lasioglossum conspicuum is only superficial. The latter has light markings on metasoma ("abdomen") made of tomentum (dense patches of short hair). Compare photos by Laurence on Flickr. Your bee shows a whitish integumental pattern (which can not be rubbed off). Your be belongs to the family Colletidae, subfamily Euryglossinae. Because there are no light markings on head and/or thorax I think Callohesma can be excluded."
