Early Colletes (Colletes cunicularius)
First seen waiting outside a host's nest.
She was underground for 37 minutes before she returned to the entrance.
She then spent another 30 + minutes in and out of the nest entrance never fully revealing herself.
The wind, a flash and our presence all contributing to her remaining there perhaps.
In the immediate vicinity < 30cm two other females were busy clearing out nests.
This individual then sat out in the open for a a good five minutes allowing these photographs. and four other photographers.
