Summary

[edit]
Description

Here we have two native species found on the prairie in North Dakota. There are five thistles native to North Dakota, with Flodman's and Wavyleaf being the most common. Both species have white or gray-colored stems and leaf undersides and both are highly pubescent (fuzzy).

I believe this native bee species to be Agapostemon virescens, but please correct me if wrong. It is in the group of bees known as "sweat bees" in the Halictidae family. They nest in burrows in the ground, and are native and fairly common to most of North America.
