Unknown bee wolf Philanthus sp. I found one other marked very similarly and found not too far away - maybe 20-30 miles, to this one on BugGuide marked no Taxon - crabroniformis or multimaculatus. To my eye, if anything, it much more closely resembles a variation of the markings of crabroniformis. Geotagged,Summer,United States Click/tap to enlarge

    The difference between sexes in beewolf species seems pretty dramatic. It's very easy to get misled by searching for particular features or by making conclusion based on a cover photo of a species.     Posted 3 years ago
