Stopped by a known Calliopsis nesting area. Found mating bees on Bahiopsis laciniata. Happy Mother's to Bee Day!

3-4 inches high.
this one is more grey, less golden on the top of the abdomen
on Astragalus lentiginosus
Sweep-netted from Stillingia linearifolia (Narrow-leaved stillingia) and also observed actively feeding on it. I think a new host plant association.
