Hi again, I've put these on a seperate post as they are bees from last year that i still haven't managed to identify. Hope someone will recognise them.

thanks, Ashe

I have no idea what the first one is I'm afraid. Its extremely worn and so I suspect the colours are completely faded.

The second one is a female Lasioglossum of some sort... could be L. leucozonium, but that would be no more than an informed guess. The bits I need to see for a positive id are not shown in this pis (back of the propodeum, 1st abdominal segment punctation, and to see if there are any dark hairs intermingled with the yellow ones on the hind tibia)
