| | | Eucera longicornis ? I saw a number of these bees with very long antennae feeding on Meadow Vetchling along the cliffs near Sandown, IoW this weekend. I've jumped to the conclusion Eucera longicornis - does that look right?
Also seems to have a fairly long tongue.
Thanks for your interest,
Rob

| | | Re: Eucera longicornis ? Well known site for E. longicornis, and great to know they are still there!
It is, of course, a BAP species |

| | | Re: Eucera longicornis ? Thanks Stuart. The Meadow Vetchling seems to be a real magnet for them here.
