| One of several similar species, this small solitary bee is a parasitic species, attacking the nest of other mining bees. Often known as Cuckoo Bees, S. monilicornis attacks the nests of Lasioglossum malachurum. An accurate ID is difficult but from evidnece found so far, S. monilicornis is the most likely. This individual was one of many found in short vegetation along the edge of Hare Hill Wood near Kersall in early April 2007. | ||
