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.

First recorded sighting this year of Orange Tailed Mining Bee in Co Westmeath in the Biodiversity Database, in my meadow in Rahugh (feasting on hawthorn pollen). Hopefully a good omen for Westmeath today in the Leinster Final! #wildmeadow #Rahugh #Westmeath #Ireland #OrangeTailedMiningBee
