Large-headed Resin Bee (Heriades truncorum)
The key was the lack of scopa.
I had a feeling this wasn't quite right
As it turned out this is actually
a
Little Dark Bee ♀︎ (Stelis breviuscula) the cleptoparasite of Heriades truncorum
The first Norfolk record was in 2022 as it follows the progress of Large-headed Resin Bee north
Wood-carving Leafcutter Bee (Megachile ligneseca)
but may be
Megachile versicolor because of the very dark hairs at the ned of the scope
Ruby-tailed Wasp Sp?
This may be
Chrysura radians
Crossocerus Sp?
The orange legs help with this one
Horned Black Wasp (Passaloecus corniger)
?
This turned out to be
Rough-saddled Bandwing (Dipogon variegatus)
