troutsfarm_cookieDescription
Moving a ball from our garden to a shaded spot beyond, this fairly large beetle then dug a hole and put the ball inside. Since we don't use manure on our garden, the ball is likely made of compost.

Silky Striped Sweat Bee (Agapostemon sericeus)Observer
alisonnettaDescription
From Discover Life:
'The male may be distinguished from many species by the
yellow maculations on its 6th metasomal sternum and by the tooth on its
hind femur; from A. melliventris by the brown-black on the anterior surface
of its first metasomal tergum; from A. texanus and A. angelicus by its lack
of conspicuous metallic tints on metasomal tergum 4, and by its lack of a
broad, subapical, transverse ridge on metasomal sternum 4; and from males
of A. splendens, A. cocherelli and A. femoratus by its unmodified hind
basitarsus.'
