| | | All black lasioglossum I was very interested to follow Jason's recent thread on his pinned specimen & wondered if there was any chance of identifying this one. 5mm long from rough grass. I can't see any hint of green in the thorax so I wondered if it was L.calceatum / L.albipes. If this is a possibility I could look with the scope for the punctures that Matt mentions around the ocelli, if I knew what I was looking for. Thanks.  |

| | | Re: All black lasioglossum I think this is a male Andrena in the subgenus Micrandrena. They are all microscope jobs to separate one from another (about 7 spp in UK) |
