The photo shows very nicely the coarse, irregular punctures on the htorax that give the species its name. Note that she is carrying pollen under the abdomen, not on the hind legs (which is where an Exoneura female would be carrying it).

That's great thanks Michael. She climbed onto my finger while I was videoing some other bees on the flowers.
