| Re: Nomada sp. Bee for ID
I'm afraid that this is one that is not going to be a confirmed ID. The genus Nomada is pretty challenging even using keys and I would not rush to a name. When I started doing bees and wasps 25 years ago I was thoroughly advised to retain all voucher specimens as the BWARS people were sceptical about records that could not be confirmed. The best I think that can be said is that this is one of two or three quite common species with N. panzeri a fairly good possibility. I would discount N. flava I think.
