They rebuilt the nest in 36 hours including two rainstorms. The middle picture is the about 5 inch diameter nest they have built in the center of our front lawn…. Again. Does anyone know how long they will best for? Or when can we mow there again?

Looks like they were parasitizing other ground bees that have mud tunnels, I believe those to be ground diggers.

Thanks to jwosborn post last week, we checked out the site at Sandy Springs and the Dieunomia were still there in large numbers. They were on Eupatorium and wingstem. Also many females were along the river's edge collecting water/minerals.

I don't like my ID on this one. It seems out of place. There was a large group of them feeding on an Eupatorium and goldenrod right along the Ohio River.

Had me stumped for a long time. I'll reveal the identity soon but curious to know if anyone else has seen something like this before? Let's make it a guessing game :D
Edit: reveal in the second image, prepare for a letdown.

This is probably another Andrena asteris as it was in the same area but I wasn't sure. This female was on snakeroot.
