File talk:Osmia cornuta, male.jpg

ID

This should be male Osmia cornuta, rather than Osmia bicolor. The light facial hair suggests it's a male. Since male O.bicolor have much lighter hair on thorax and abdomen - it's not this species. Also, the antennae of this specimen are longer than both male and female O.bicolor. The orange tip of the abdomen excludes the similar O.bicornis. This identification is made using the following key: "Clés illustrées pour l'identification des abeilles de Belgique. II Megachilidae" Alain Pauly, 2015, available as PDF: http://www.atlashymenoptera.net/biblio/Pauly_2015_Cl%C3%A9s_Megachilidae_Belgique_9JAN2016.pdf Thus i'm renaming, redescribing and correcting the usage of the file. --Exonie (talk) 19:07, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
