| |  bee and hover help!
Hi all,
is this bee Anthophora plumipes possibly? Any help gratefully received!
The little tinker kept moving so quickly, sorry about the shots...........    
And this hover - looks like Eupeodes, if so, can spp be nailed from this shot? I have doubts......... 
Cheers
Ken

1 is Bombus pascuorum. A. plumipes is a spring species + wouldn't be around now. |
