Mouth!
Not the best shot ever but it’s the first time I’ve caught these mouth parts in flight.
I think it’s a Ivy Cellophane bee in rspb Ryemeads

My husband tried to encourage me to go out without camera or a phone. Just be with nature. I said there could be an emergency. Thank goodness I could respond to this emergency with my phone!

I was photographing the berries and this insect, the name I did not know at the time, appeared on a leaf and became the focus of my attention. I later learned it was a mining bee.

Spent the day with the #NBDC in Knocksink Wood in Wicklow, learning about solitary bees and enjoying the smell of wild garlic as we walked

Surely the most striking mining bee, such beautiful colours and looking so fresh.
Our 1st one in our #wildspaces this year.
Tawny mining bee (Andrena fulva).

A male Ashy Mining Bee rests on a honeysuckle leaf. This is a small black solitary bee, with a shiny black abdomen, grey and white hair on his thorax, and a dense sprout of white hair on his face - a bit like an extravagant 'Einstein' moustache.

A female Orange-tailed Mining Bee (sometimes called the Early Mining Bee) stands on a young mahonia leaf facing right to left across the image. She's just a little larger than a honey bee. Her thorax is red above and grey below, and she has a grey face. Her abdomen is black, and almost hairless apart from a bright orange tip, and she has yellowish middle and rear legs, with an extravagant white pollen brush.

A fresh female Chocolate Mining Bee rests on the mottled greeny-yellow surface of an aucuba leaf. This is quite a large bee, at about 1.5cm in length. Her head, abdomen and legs are black with brown hair, and her thorax is dark brown with a rich chestnut-brown pile. She has a stylops - the head of a parasitic insect called a Strepsiptera - protruding between her fourth and fifth abdominal segments.
