Another Triepeolus. This time is is T. lunatus. A common species for a nest parasite in that it shows up regularly. The thought is that it is the nest parasite of Melissodes bimaculata which is perhaps the most abundant long-horned bee in the East, but probably is more generic in what Melissodes' nest it will invade. None of this nesting is absolutely confirmed, simply because not enough of you are looking, watching, and studying bees right in your yards. Also note, in the side few the long brushy things coming out of its butt below the sting. What are those? No one seems to know but all the Triepeolus have modified their sixth sternite in this way.
