Megachile pseudobrevis, female, face
Megachile pseudobrevis is called "pseudobrevis" because it looks so close to Megachile brevis. Molecules have separated it out as a separate species which has a largely southern range. Perhaps largely restricted to the coastal plain. Details to emerge slowly over time. Photography by Sierra Williams Photoshopping by Elizabeth Garcia.
