Lasioglossum calceatum
Picture the scene. I’m wandering around the garden in the one 30-minute period of sunshine all day when I spot a tiny bee or wasp munching on pollen, it’s mandible shooting out like something from an ‘Alien’ film. I have no idea what the wee beastie is, can’t even fathom out whether it’s a bee or wasp (it has a very ‘waspy’ waist but seems to be a little too hairy for a wasp), and am getting quietly excited because in this very flowerbed I accidentally found a rare nomada bee some years before.
