Summary[edit]

Description

Triepeolus distinctus. This is the female of the male of the species that was posted a couple of weeks ago. Equally lovely. Both were found in an untended sand pit near my house. The key is untended as most sand pits not are filled with junk and the capped with clay and then planted with cool-season grasses and maybe some trees. The worst thing you could do. An untended sandpit if full of biodiversity, rare sand specialist plants, rare sand specialist bees, and many other organisms that key in on the sparse open sand and sand loving plants that invade. Sometimes we are just too tidy. 16:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC)16:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC){{{{{{0}}}}}}16:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC)16:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
