Nomada lathburiana (Kirby,1802)
Most Nomadas are considerably wasp-like, having black/yellow or brown/yellow banding on a hairless abdomen. They are harmless to humans and do not sting. Identification of individual species is usually very difficult. Nomada lathburiana is a cleptoparasite of the common solitary bee Andrena cineraria. It is currently classed as RDB3, but a downgrade in classification is believed to have been recommended. We recorded several of these within huge numbers of the host bee at Newstead Abbey in May 2013.
