I'd rather not kill something just to identify it (I'm an interested amateur, not a formal surveyor of a site) and sometimes a group of species is as far as you can get with wasps and bees in the hand/tube!

I rarely refrigerate as they are much livelier when they recover!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419804792411385092noreply@blogger.com
