Coelioxys mexicanus, f, georgia, side-Recovered copy

Coeloxys mexicanus. A southern species that ranges from the far south east into Florida, from there is arcs around the Gulf and heads into Mexico into Central America. I am not aware of what species of bee's (almost certainly a Megachile) nest it invades. I think of most members of the genus as sharp dressers and C. mexicanus does not disappoint. This one from Georgia.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See

We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
- Oscar Wilde
