Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) lanarium (Halictid bee)

Bees in the family Halictidae have a tongue which, although technically short, appears long and jointed (bent). They have a characteristic wing venation (strongly curved M vein).

The genus Lasioglossum has the main pollen-carrying hairs on the hind femur, and also carries lesser amounts on the hind tibia and under the metasoma.

This particular species is often seen feeding on 'daisies'.

Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) lanarium is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands  |  Southern Highlands  |  Albury, Wodonga  |  South Coast

Species page sighting lists are under redevelopment and will return very soon.
