Coelioxys bee female

Davenport, Lincoln County, Washington

Coelioxys is a member of the hard working bee family Megachilidae but she is one of a handful that are parasitic. I watched one hover over the entrance to an Andrena bee nest and then perch above waiting for the Andrena to leave. She slips in and quickly lays an egg inside.
