Megachile exilis, m, side, Pr. George's Co., MD
A collector of resin. This is Megachile exilis and uses resin to cap its nests rather than "leaf-cutting" leaves or petals to make its cocoon and end caps. This is a male and has noticeably expanded front legs. So it goes in the bee world, so many ways of being and patterns to explore. Photograph by Amanda Robinson, specimen from Prince George's County, Maryland, maybe in my backyard.
