Svastra duplocineta,f,face,Pima Co, AZ
Another set of pictures of a different specimen of Svastra duplocincta//// Below is a repeat of the previous verbage for the species.
While most people would not necessarily think about this very much (beer, for example, is thought about a lot more), many bees are specialists on Cacti. Here is Svastra duplocincta collected in Pima County, Arizona...very likely on a cactus by either Tim McMahon or Don Harvey (my notes are not with me). Note, that if no one looks a bee still exists, but for the world of most people, it might as well not.
