Triepeolus donatus, m, back, Centre Co, PA
Yo, Triepeolus people you are darn sharp looking bees. Here is T. donatus. Collected near State College in Pennsylvania by Laura Russo. Its host is going to be a Melissodes, in this case M. desponsus, (a thistle specialist) but it also has been seen going into the nest of Melitoma taurea …so perhaps there is more to the story, difficult to say since it is rarely collected and rarely seen.. Picture by the fab Kelly Graninger.
