IDing something so hard to get decent photos of is tricky. It wouldn't stay still. And thank you Antonio :)
Welcome to Project Noah, Kat G
I hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore:
I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
wow 2 very different photos, I guess you're right, to me it looks also like terrestris ;)
But I suppose it could be a different species. What species do you think it is?
The other photo shows the yellow off better, the lighting in the first photo hid it.
Are you sure is Bombus terrestris, I see no yellow parts...
