Tawny mining bee resting on a leaf

Tawny mining bee (Andrena fulva), quite common during the flowering season for fruit trees such as apple, pear, plum and cherry. They are solitary, and “mine” in the sense that they dig holes for their homes. Can sometimes be spotted emerging from lawns, playing fields, grassy banks and the like.
