Anacamptis papilionacea subsp. grandiflora & Eucera sp.
These male Long Horned Bees were so docile in the orchid's lip that you could touch them & sometimes they didn't even move. They're supposed to deposite pheremone guides for females but really did appear drugged.
In Stipa gigantea grassland on the edge of Quercus suber forest.
Can anyone ID the Eucera from these?
