Summary
| Description |
A nice fluffy male Centris atripes from Central Texas collected during a family reunion. Centris are large bumble bee sized bees and as you move into desert and tropical area in the Americas the number of bumble bees decline and the number of often oil using Centris species and the equally large Carpenter bees increase. I guess the world always needs a few large bees to use the large flowers the plant people need pollinating.
