Just when I thought I was working it out!

Description:
Megachile erythropyga femaleI thought I had photos of the same species native bee but on looking at the photos they have different numbers of white stripes on the abdomen. I like the little Hemiptera bug drinking the nectar on one of the flowers.I need to mention that these photos were taken over a period of a number of hours on different populations of these little flowers.
