I was on the nature amble on Muttermoor this morning and showed this image to Mick. Canm he identify it?
Oops, sorry Richard, I have only gone on the biodiversity website today and had missed your request. I don`t seem to be able to open your photo. from what I can recall it was quite black and grey/whitish but I can`t remember if there was any yellow on the thorax. It could have been the ashy mining be or a cuckoo bumble bee, Bombus vestalis. would it be possible to send the photo to my email address or text to my mobile on 07955 556282
