Species Account:
This was on Mud Creek Rd near the junction of HWY 78. There were locoweed in bloom and many bumble bees on them. I caught 5 and photographed but the photos aren't great or close enough. When zooming in, they are pretty blurry. i'm not sure of all 5 are the same species or not but it appears they may be. This was May 5th around 12pm and it was about 70-75 degrees mostly sunny. I had my survey stuff with me and decided to stop but and practice even though this is not my area. My camera was not working so these phone pics aren't great.
