Agapostemon sericeus and Sphecodes prosphorus

Agapostemon on Tradescantia ohiensis

Agapostemon on Tradescantia ohiensis

Little is known about Sphecodes prosphorus, but the Sphecodes are kleptoparasites of other Halictids (including this Agapostemon sericeus), so I thought it would be interesting to compare their phenologies.  Their interactions segregated by plant species, so Sphecodes is in teal and Agapostemon is clear.  You can also compare this phenology to Agapostemon virescens.
