Cerceris
rybyensis  |
||
| The identification of many solitary bees and wasps is frought with difficulties and it took many months after photographing this Cerceris rybyensis, before an accurate identification was found. This is however, a widespread species and preys on mining bees, which it takes back to the nest. Nests are situated on the ground and are dug by the female. We found several Cerceris rybyensis resting on Thistle flowers in Sherwood Forest during a rather dull early September 2008 day. The very similar Cerceris arenaria, attacks large Weevils. | ||
