Anthidiellum notatum_robertsoni, m, face, Yolo, CA
One of a number of subspecies of Anthidiellum notatum....A. n. robersoni, in this case. This is a western version. Park of Claire Kremen's Shop. Found in Yolo County. But...is it really a subspeices or is it actually a different species. Good question Pilgrim. Wouldn't it be nice if someone were to sponsor the hunt for that answer.
We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
