  And a big thank you to Corry Sheffield for identifying these tiny bees photographed by Ann Tiplady on Mount Tolmie during the June 4 butterfly walk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   They are all Ceratina <\/em>(Zadontomerus<\/em>) that cannot be identified to species with certainty. Ann remarks that not all of them were the same size, so possibly more than one species was involved.  For those unfamiliar with the way these things are named, the “Zadontomerus<\/em>” in italics, with a capital Z<\/em>, following the genus name in parentheses, means Subgenus Zadontomerus<\/em>.  That is, Cory was able to identify it below genus level as far as subgenus – but not as far as species.<\/p>\n
