• A miscellaneous selection of solitary bees is shown. Lasioglossum calceatum demonstrates clear sexual dimorphism, much more so than many other bees. Colletes succinctus is a heather specialist. Hoplosmia spinulosa nests in snail shells. Andrena marginata has several colour forms including the red form shown here. This bee was photographed in France and all the others were taken in the UK. Other members of this large genus may be seen on Hymenoptera 3.
