Nomada marshamella (Kirby,1802) | ||
The identification of all our Nomada sp can be very difficult, and often largely impossible from photographs. They are distintive and easily mistaken for wasps, but are harmless and of no threat. Nomada marshamella is a cleptoparasite of Andrena scotica and found in a wide range of habitats. Despite being widely distributed across the UK, its Nottinghamshire distribution suggests a preference for light, sandy soils. Photographed at Edwinstowe in May 2018. | ||
