This tiny red-abdomen bee showed up on the sweat bee hillside this afternoon. Cuckoo bee?
On Basket of Gold
Aurinia saxatilis
Seemed to have features of Tachinidae & Bombyliidae. On Cymopterus petreus.
Several large carpenter bees buzzing around this location!
The pattern on these spiderlings seems to be pretty consistent with orb weavers we have seen around.
