Anthidium porterae, right, Hidalgo Co., MD
Antidium porterae....we recently uploaded somem pictures of the male and here, now, is the female. Collected in Hildalgo County, NM by an A. Melin. Note on the side shot the belly full of pollen attached to the pollen collecting hairs located there. Pollen collected all over the bee's body is ultimately groomed to this area where it is held in place until unloaded in the nest. The blocky patterns of yellow markings on the abdomen are pretty good ID character for any bee in this genus. Photo by Anders Croft.
