Description

Very excited to finally get relatively clear photos of one of these entirely pale yellow euryglossines after seeing them a few times. Seems to match Brachyhesma but I know euryglossines are often difficult to ID so not 100% certain.

These bees came to my light sheet. They have the large eyes of drones and are about honey bee sized but have very hairy legs. This is the first ime I have had any sort of bees coming to the light sheet.
