Stelis nasuta, M, Side, Greece, Aegean Islands, Lesvos, Mytilene
Three pictures of Stelis nasuta from the Grecian Islands, collected by Jelle Devalez who has the honor of studying and interpreting for us all the bee faunaof these islands. How nice for us all. The species lays its eggs in the nest of the Osmia species that we have illustrated previously. Just doing its job, nothing personal.
Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all
