While walking in the woods, I came across dozens of Frigid Mining Bees (Andrena frigida), making their homes in the dirt of the trail! They were sunning themselves on tree trunks, and buzzing along the ground looking for promising locations to dig, or for mates.

This one was basking by what I presume was its nest. Unlike cellophane bees, they apparently do not leave open entrances, but fill their doorways with dirt that they "swim" through.

✨ Hello there ! 😊
Aujourd'hui le Méloé printanier ! Un insecte de la famille des coléoptères, dont les larves se développent en parasitant les colonies d' hyménoptères...
✨ Ici il s'agit d'une femelle, avec l'abdomen plus gros que celui du mâle !
✨ Connaissez-vous cet insecte ? 🥸
✨ Vous pouvez retrouver toutes mes illustrations disponibles ici : clairemotzart.etsy.com

These desert furnace ants- Forelius maccooki- normally run so quickly they are difficult to photograph. But they will pause and pose briefly at their nest entrance, allowing a few decent shots. Tucson, Arizona.
