Nomada fabriciana

Fabricius Nomad Bee is a predetor of the Gwynne's Mining Bee photographed previously . Locally common in southern Britain but scarcer in the north . Females enter the host's nesting burrow and lay an egg in the wall of the unsealed nest cell . The grub then destroys the host's egg or grub with its large sickle shaped mandibles and proceeds to feed on the food store. They are small relatively hairless bees often with bold wasp like markings .
