Bee ID conformation and what to do, please
6 years ago
I saw this bee a few days ago. With some help from an app and Google, I think it is Megachile sculpturalis. What do you think? And if it is, is this something to post to INaturalist or somewhere else in case somebody keeps track on where they show up? It’s known they are around here, but first time in my yard
