Blunt-jawed Nomad Bee
Nomada striata
Description
Body length 7 - 11mm. There are several similar reddish Nomada bees so it is difficult to identify species with certainty from photographs. I think this one is a female N. striata.
Habitat
Grasslands where there are a lot of clovers and trefoils.
Status and distribution
Mainly recorded from England, where it is local, and a lot less common in Wales and Scotland.
Best time to see
May to July.
