Nomada flava (Panzer, 1798) | ||
Sometimes known more commonly as Cuckoo Bees, Nomada flava is one of many similar species which are parasitic on solitary Bees. They appear wasp-like and generally have black/yellow or brown/yellow banding on a hairless abdomen. However, all Nomadas are completely harmless to humans and do not sting. Identification to individual species can often be very difficult. | ||
