Yesterday I photographed this bee at Leerdam, Netherlands. It was quite a large bee, just a fraction smaller than a Honey bee. It has a distinct grey overall colour and it has yellow-golden hairy thighs.

Does anybody know its name?

Thank you in advance!

Hello, Jan!

Genus Andrena, most likely A. vaga (female).
Best regards,
Jürgen

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
