Size and shape of the stigma and curve of the basal vein

Author Gary Taylor

From last week’s bush run… Not sure on this one, but the size and shape of the stigma and curve of the basal vein has me thinking Halictid, so I reckon it’s highly likely there’s a pretty good chance it’s possible it might be Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes), maybe… 😅
